The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak run ahead for the coast. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing that’s worth paddling out for, stretching from now all the way through to the end of next week. You’re looking at a gap of about two weeks before anything with a pulse shows up.
For the next several days, the swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the energy just isn’t there. The water temperature is sitting around 63°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than average for this time of year – not crazy, but a touch on the mild side for the season.
There’s really only one moment on the horizon that’s worth getting excited about. It looks like our best chance arrives on Wednesday 26th August, at Abereiddy. The forecast is showing a bit of a pulse, with a 7ft swell rolling in from the WSW. Here’s the catch: that early morning window is the one to watch. We’re looking at a gentle cross-off breeze from the ENE, which should keep things pretty clean. The swell period is short, around 7 seconds, so it’s windswell, not a long period groundswell, but the combined energy is strong at 463 – plenty of push for a shortboard. But listen, it gets big. That 7ft is pushing into expert territory, and by the afternoon the wind swings onshore and the conditions turn messy. So if you’re an experienced surfer and you can get out that Wednesday morning, that’s your moment. Beginners, stay well clear – that’s too much water moving.
The rest of the week after that doesn’t offer much to write home about. A few waist-high scraps here and there with choppy winds and poor surf quality. The setup isn’t going to be producing anything clean.
So, to sum it up: the whole two weeks is mostly a write-off for classic surfing, with one sharp window on Wednesday 26th August morning for the experts at Abereiddy. Keep an eye on that one, but don’t hold your breath for the rest.
Rusty.
