The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour.
First up, fair warning: this spot is inconsistent, and it shows in the forecast. There’s a lot of messy, blown-out surf to wade through before we get to anything decent. The first few days are a write-off. Tuesday the 1st has a tiny 3ft swell from the SSW with a risk of thunderstorms and an onshore wind, making for poor conditions. Wednesday and Thursday are bigger, pushing 8ft to 10ft, but it’s all cross-onshore, lumpy, and stormy – not one for paddling out. That’s a rough start.
Now, the first real glimmer of hope comes Friday the 4th morning. The swell is still solid at 8ft from the SSW, but the wind swings light onshore from the S. The combined swell energy is strong (3270), but the conditions are only marginal. It’s a start. Saturday the 5th morning is similar but smaller, with a 7ft SW swell.
The standout window is Sunday the 6th afternoon. We get a clean 5ft swell from the WSW with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW. The combined energy is still strong (1085), and the conditions are clean. This is your best bet for a session with some shape. After that, things go quiet again with small, inconsistent swells through the second week.
The best session on offer is Sunday the 6th afternoon. The swell is a clean 5ft from the WSW with a light cross-offshore wind. It’s the only time in the period where the stars align for a decent paddle. Keep in mind, this spot can be inconsistent, so don’t expect magic every day. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
The second week is mostly small and weak. Monday the 7th has a clean afternoon with a tiny 3ft SSW swell, but it’s small. Tuesday the 8th morning is glassy with a 4ft W swell, but still small. Some clean mornings follow, but the swell is rarely over 3ft. There’s a brief window on Wednesday the 9th afternoon with a 3ft SW swell and offshore wind, but it’s nothing to get excited about. The 15th and 16th have glassy mornings with tiny 2ft swells, but that’s about it.
Honestly, Sunday the 6th is the only real standout. Get on it if you can, but don’t hold your breath for the rest of the fortnight.
