The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. The next couple of weeks are looking a bit slow, but there are a few windows where the conditions will line up for a decent session. We're not talking about any massive swell, but if you pick your moments, you'll find some fun ones.
For the first few days, it's pretty small. Monday the 10th is just not doing much, with a weak 3ft SSW swell and cross-onshore breezes. The energy is weak at 588, and it's just a bit messy. Honestly, I'd wait it out. Tuesday and Wednesday are similar, very inconsistent, with the swell dropping off a touch. The outlook brightens a little on Thursday the 13th. The morning is clean with a glassy 3ft SW swell, and the afternoon is the standout of this first stretch. The wind goes glassy, the swell holds at 3ft from the SW, and the energy jumps to 696. That's the pick of the first week. It won't be big, but it'll be clean and fun.
The weekend brings a bit more size, but the wind turns against us. Friday the 14th sees the swell bump up to 5ft SW, but it's cross-onshore and a bit lumpy. The energy gets moderate at 1235, but the quality drops. The sea breeze is messing it up. Saturday is much the same, a bit of size but not clean. Sunday looks a bit smaller and still not great.
The next week is a story of inconsistency. The swell stays in the 3ft to 4ft range, but the wind is all over the place. There's a small window on Tuesday the 18th morning with a glassy 4ft SSW swell, which could be alright, but the swell direction is a bit off for this spot. From Wednesday the 19th onwards, it just gets messy and smaller. The 20th has a brief pulse of 7ft, but it's a short-period, choppy mess, and the wind is up. That's more of a crumble than anything else. It stays poor and weak through the following weekend, with the energy dropping off significantly.
One thing to note: this wave is pretty inconsistent, so when it's small and onshore, it's not going to do much. The best call is definitely Thursday afternoon, the 13th. It's the one time where the stars align for clean, glassy waves, even if it's not pumping. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
It's a bit of a flat spell, but that's how it goes sometimes. The long-range stuff looks promising but it's too far out to get excited about. Keep an eye on the forecast, and if you can get out on Thursday, you might snag a few clean ones.
