The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Alright, so the next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a flicker of something special way out there. For the most part, we’re looking at small, messy surf with a lot of cross-shore and onshore wind messing things up. The water is running at a very warm 87°F, which is way hotter than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be surfing in a bath.
The first real sniff of decent surf doesn’t pop up until the morning of Thursday, August 6th. It’s still marginal, but we’ve got a 2ft swell from the SSE with a clean offshore wind. The combined energy is moderate (321). It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the first window where the wind isn’t ruining everything.
The standout of the whole run is shaping up for Sunday, August 16th, in the morning. That’s the one to circle on your calendar. Swell bumps up a bit to 3ft from the SSW, but the wind turns light and cross-off from the NNE. That’s going to clean things right up. The combined energy is moderate (531), and the forecast points to “very good surf conditions.” This is the best bet for a proper session, and because this break is inconsistent, when it’s on, it’s worth making the trip. Keep an eye on it, but as always, long-range calls can shift.
Before that, you’ll see a few mornings with offshore winds, like Thursday, August 7th morning, with a 3ft SSW swell and clean offshore wind from the SSE, but the conditions are still described as marginal. The afternoon of Friday, August 14th, shows a bit more size hitting 4ft from the SSW, but it’s got a cross-on wind, so it’s not the cleanest. The energy is strong (1047), so there’s power in the water, but the wind will make it tricky.
For the first few days, honestly, it’s a bit of a struggle. Monday, August 3rd afternoon is glassy with a tiny 2ft groundswell from the SW, but with a storm risk, it’s a gamble. The rest of the first week is mostly cross-shore wind and poor conditions. The second week has a few more mornings with offshore wind, but the swell stays small, around 3ft to 3ft. The best window is definitely that Sunday, August 16th morning.
So, if you’re keen, wait for that Sunday morning. It’s not huge, but with clean conditions, it’ll be the pick of the bunch.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
