The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The charts are looking a bit bleak for our stretch of coast in the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a lot of bumpy, messy conditions ahead with very little in the way of decent surf. It’s one of those runs where you’ll be checking the cam more than waxing up.
The next week or so is a write-off for any real quality. We’ve got some swell filling in, but the wind is set to be all over the shop, mostly onshore or crossed, chopping up any potential clean face. There’s a hint of something bigger around the 3rd of September, with the swell energy jumping up to a strong 1117, but it’s arriving with a fresh cross-onshore breeze, so expect a messy, lumpy ocean. Not what we want.
You’ll have to be patient. There’s a gap of several days after that with nothing decent showing. The best bet in this entire window looks like the morning of the 5th of September at Abereiddy. It’s a fairly consistent spot when it gets the swell, but it’s not a given. The forecast shows the wind dropping to a complete glassy calm. That’s a major positive. We’ll see a small, rideable 3.6ft swell from the WSW, with a combined wave energy of 155, which is just in the moderate range. It’ll be soft and small, not the greatest, but it will be the cleanest we’ll get. The trade-off is it’s a spot that can get busy, so there’s a chance of a crowd if you all head there.
Another glimmer, if you’re desperate, is the morning of the 4th of September. We’ll see a 6.5ft WSW swell with a cleaner cross-off breeze, but it’s a marginal call with tide and the energy is moderate at 467. Keep your expectations very low. As for the rest, it’s a lot of nothing or a lot of onshore junk. If the wind stays strong and the swell is up but the surf quality is poor, you might be better off getting the kite out on the beach breaks than trying to paddle.
It’s not looking good, but forecasts have a way of shifting. Hang tight.
