The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat. I’m not gonna lie to you—this is a rough stretch for us. The next two weeks look bleak for any sort of decent wave. I’ve looked at the charts and what we’ve got on offer is basically a whole lot of not much.
Right now and for days to come, we’re stuck with tiny, weak swell and a nasty cross-shore wind that’s just chopping everything up. The first real bump in energy shows up around the 25th of August, with the swell climbing to about 5ft from the east, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore at 22 mph, so it’s going to be lumpy and messy. Not something I’d paddle out for.
After that, it’s back to flat and poor conditions for most of the end of August and into early September. There’s a brief moment on the 29th of August where a long-period groundswell arrives—16 seconds from the east—and the energy jumps to 274, but the swell is only 2ft. That’s a tease. The wind goes cross-offshore, which is nice and clean, but there’s just not enough water moving to make it worthwhile.
Then we get a real spike on the 31st of August: 7ft from the east. That’s solid size, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. That kind of power with that wind direction is just going to be a washing machine. Not for beginners, not really for anyone. The same goes for early September—swell stays between 5ft and 6ft, but it’s still cross-shore and bumpy. There’s a cleaner moment on the afternoon of the 4th and 6th of September, with cross-offshore winds, but the swell period is short at 7-8 seconds, so it won’t be well-shaped.
Honestly, if you’re itching to get wet, I’d save the energy. The wind is never really your friend here, and the swell just isn’t lining up. If you’re into kitesurfing, maybe have a look at the bigger, windier days around the 31st of August or the 5th of September, but for a proper surf? Not this time.
The water is warm, sitting at 85°, about 1° above average, so you won’t need a wetsuit. But you’ll need patience.
This is Rusty, signing off.
