The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down, Rusty style.

First few days? Forget it. Starting Thursday the 20th, we’ve got a tiny 2-foot SSW swell with a super long 18-second period, but the wind is a messy cross-breeze, making it all chop and no shape. Not worth the paddle.

Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd see a little bump from the ENE, but it’s short-period junk – around 7 seconds – and the wind is fresh to strong cross-shore, so it’s lumpy and ugly. Sunday the 23rd through Tuesday the 25th, the swell builds to 5–6 feet, but still that short period and strong cross-winds make it a total washing machine. The combined energy is moderate to strong, but it’s all wind-driven chop.

Honestly, from the 20th all the way up to the 2nd of September, it’s just poor or marginal. The one bright spot? Wednesday afternoon, the 2nd of September. The wind goes clean, cross-offshore from the NNE, and you’ve got a solid 7-foot NE swell with a 9-second period. Energy is moderate (853). That’s your best window. It’s not for beginners – over 6 feet is expert territory – and the shorter period might make it a bit walled up, but if you’re skilled, that afternoon could be really clean.

The water temp is about 80°F, right on average for the time of year, nothing weird there.

Crowds? Given it’s often busy here, that clean afternoon will draw a crowd.

Anything else? The tail end of the period, the 3rd and 4th of September, shows some swell but with onshore wind again, so it’s not promising.

So, one real standout: Wednesday afternoon, the 2nd of September. Everything else is a write-off thanks to constant cross-winds. That’s the call.

Rusty.

Information about the ADs/Doubles Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for ADs/Doubles provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at ADs/Doubles can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our ADs/Doubles surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (ADs/Doubles) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for ADs/Doubles may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
