The Lowdown
Right, let’s be honest with you. The next couple of weeks are pretty grim for Abereiddy. There’s just nothing on the cards that’s going to get the heart racing. For a spot that can be fun when everything lines up, this forecast is a stubborn run of poor surf.
Right now, and through the coming days, the swell is there in size but it’s messy. Sunday the 13th has a weak 4ft southwest swell with a short 7-second period, and it’s choppy from a cross-onshore wind. The combined energy is only moderate at 134, and it just looks frustrating. The water temperature is 62°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive.
The middle of next week is more of the same. Tuesday the 15th sees a bump in size to 6ft from the WSW, but the onshore wind is going to chop it all up, and the 247 moderate energy won't save it. It’s all over the place and poor. We do get a little window on Monday afternoon the 14th with a clean cross-off wind and a 4ft SW swell, but it's still a short period, weak affair that won’t offer much. It’s just not worth getting wet for.
By the time we hit the weekend of the 19th and 20th, there’s a pulse of bigger swell – 8ft from the WSW on Saturday – but the wind is cross-onshore and the period is only 7 seconds. It’s going to be a lumpy, blown-out mess. The energy jumps to 550, which is strong, but that doesn't mean good. If you’re a beginner, that 8ft is well over the line, but honestly, the conditions will put off most people.
After that, the bottom falls out. From the 22nd onwards, we drop right off. The surf fades to nothing – 0.7ft, 0.3ft – and we hit a long flat spell. There’s a funny little 0.3ft swell with an 18-second period on the 26th, but that’s just not surfable. The 27th and 28th are dead flat, even with clean offshore winds at times, but you can’t ride what isn’t there.
We’re looking at a drought period here. There’s simply nothing in this window that’s worth the drive. The only positive I can see is that the water is a touch warm, but that’s small consolation. Sometimes the ocean just says no, and this is one of those times. Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath. This is a normal blank run for the area, and the forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a no-go.
