The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a good, hard look at what we've got on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a lean stretch ahead. We're staring at a long dry spell with barely a ripple to get excited about. The first real glimmer of something rideable doesn't show up until Saturday the 29th of August, so that's over a week of flat, poor conditions to get through. For a while there, the energy is just pathetic, with combined swell readings barely hitting double digits (11-70 range) – that's weak tea, my friends. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. Don't bother paddling out before that date; you'll just be bobbing around.
So, the pick of a pretty sad bunch is Acre (Mifalim) or Ako. It's a river mouth, beginner-friendly, and consistent when there's anything, but it's exposed and crowds are often a problem. Now for the one bright spot in this whole 16-day outlook.
The standout session is the Saturday morning of the 29th of August. We finally see a pulse of energy with combined swell climbing to a moderate 171 – that's the highest number in the entire run. The wave height should be around 4 ft from the WNW. Now, the downside: the period is only 8 seconds, so it's a short-period wind swell, not the groundswell we’d dream about. It's also cross-on, not clean, which means it's going to be a bit choppy and bumpy. Still, it's the best we've got. That Saturday afternoon follows up with a cleaner 3 ft and offshore wind, but the energy drops off to 127.
There's a secondary, weaker pulse on the Sunday morning of the 30th of August. Swell drops to 3 ft from the WNW with a combined energy of 75 – a drop back into weak territory. The cross-on wind will be there again.
Given how poor the quality is for most of the run, and the exposed beach/river setup with onshore winds, honestly, this whole period looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the next week. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't freeze waiting for nothing.
Rusty, signing off.
