The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s break it down.
To be straight with you, the next sixteen days are mostly flat or a bit of a mess. There’s plenty of time with nothing worthwhile, so don’t rush out. The first real chance to get wet comes in the second week.
Your best bet will be Saturday, August 15th in the afternoon at Agate and Pearl Street. Swell pushes up to 4ft out of the SW, with a period around 16 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is 623 (moderate wave energy). Winds will be light offshore from the WSW at 3 mph, so expect glassy, clean conditions on this reef break. It’s a fairly consistent spot, but it can get crowded sometimes. That’s your window.
The early part of the week from Sunday the 9th is a no-go: tiny waves, poor shape, and wind all over the place. Friday, August 14th afternoon shows a jump in energy to 506 (moderate wave energy) with 2ft from the SSW, but the cross-on breeze will mess it up. Not a standout, but the only other thing close to rideable.
Water temp is about normal for this time of year. Later in August, it looks small again. Make the call on the 15th.
Rusty.
