The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
The main story is a long stretch of modest, inconsistent swell with a few weather windows that could make it worthwhile. The water is a balmy 87°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be in for a warm one.
The first real standout is Thursday afternoon, August 13th. We’ve got a clean 3 ft swell rolling in from the SW with a solid 15-second period, and what’s really got me excited is the moderate offshore wind from the NNW. That’s a recipe for some clean, lined-up waves. The combined energy is moderate (698), so there’s enough push to make it interesting. It’s a beach and reef setup, so that longer period should wrap in nicely.
The next one to keep an eye on is Sunday morning, August 16th. It’s glassy, dead calm, with a 4 ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and moderate energy (591). That’s a great morning to be out there without a bump in the water.
Looking further out, the swell picks up nicely around Monday, August 24th. The morning is glassy, with a 5 ft SSE swell and 11-second period, moderate energy (831). The afternoon looks clean too with a cross-off breeze. The wind is light and the conditions are promising, but it’s a long way out so take it with a pinch of salt.
The biggest energy of the whole window hits on Wednesday afternoon, August 26th, with a 6 ft SW swell and a 14-second period, giving us strong energy (1456). But the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session. The swell is there, but the wind isn’t doing us any favours.
Thursday afternoon, August 27th, is worth a mention too. Glassy conditions, 5 ft SW swell, 16-second period, and strong energy (1193). The guidance says it’s excellent for experienced surfers, so if you’ve got the skills, that’s a session to aim for.
Overall, the best bets are Thursday 13th afternoon for the offshore wind, and Sunday 16th morning for the glass. The later window around the 24th and 27th looks promising but is less certain.
Rusty.
