The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk in feet and miles per hour.
For Agate and Pearl Street, the 16-day forecast is a bit of a mixed bag. A lot of flat spells, but a couple of solid pulses for those who know what they're doing.
The water is 75°F right now, which is a lot warmer than usual for this time of year. That's a 4°F anomaly, so you'll be comfortable in a shorty or even just boardshorts.
We start off on Saturday, August 29th, with a long period groundswell. The swell is around 3 feet from the SSW, with a period of 17 seconds. That's a very long period, so the waves will have real punch and nice lines on the reef. The combined energy is moderate (650). The morning is the best bet with a light offshore breeze from the WSW at 6 mph. The wind gets stronger and more onshore in the afternoon, so get it early. The swell direction is close to the optimum west.
Sunday, the 30th, is still rideable but the wind goes cross-shore. The swell is similar, around 3 feet, but the period drops to 15 seconds. Still a long period, but less clean than Saturday.
The first week of September is a write-off. From Monday, August 31st, through to Saturday, September 5th, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is tiny and weak. It's just choppy and messy. Not worth it.
The big one comes on Tuesday, September 8th. The morning shows a 7 foot south swell with a 13 second period. The combined energy is very strong (1585). That's a solid size, definitely for experienced surfers only. The wind is a light offshore from the west at 6 mph, pumping out clean, powerful waves. The afternoon of the 8th gets even bigger, hitting 10 feet, but the wind swings cross-onshore, so it'll be a messy beast. The Tuesday morning session is the clear standout.
After that, it drops off fast. Wednesday, September 9th, the period is a short 8 seconds, so it's a weak, wind-driven mess. The second week from the 9th to the 13th is mostly small, weak swells with poor onshore winds. The energy level drops to weak (e.g., 117 on Saturday, Sept 12th). There’s a glassy morning on Sunday, September 13th, but it's only 2 feet and clean. Tiny, but glassy.
So, for the crew: this is a bin for beginners. The only real standout for the experienced guys is the morning of Tuesday, September 8th – big, clean, and powerful. That's the one to circle.
