The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get down to it. It’s gonna be a slow grind for a while, so strap in.
We’re looking at Agate and Pearl Street, a reef setup that’s fairly consistent but doesn’t always have the best shape. Right now, the water’s sitting at a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a little bonus.
The next week is a real bummer. We’ve got small, weak surf with crummy winds. The swell energy is weak, mostly under 300, and the period is all over the place. It’s mostly cross-shore breezes messing up what little is out there. There are a few windows Saturday morning the 12th with 2ft of SW swell, but it’s crossed up. Monday the 14th drops to a dribbly 1ft. It’s just not worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate for a knee-paddle.
The first real glimmer of hope arrives on Saturday morning, the 19th. The swell bumps back up to a clean 2ft from the SW with an 18-second period. The wind goes glassy, and for a moment there, it looks like it might actually be fun. The energy is starting to build (367). It’s not big, but on a reef, that long period could make for some fun, walled-up rides. It’s the best we’ve seen so far, but still a far cry from epic.
After that, it gets tricky again with more cross-shore and onshore winds messing things up, but the swell stays in the 2ft to 3ft range, with the period staying long and the energy climbing into the 400s. It’s inconsistent and junky, but there’s something there. Fast forward to the last day of the window, Saturday the 26th, and we get another glassy morning, this time with 2ft of SW swell and that long 19-second period. The energy is still moderate (268), and it’s clean. It’s another small, clean day that’s better than nothing.
Honestly, if you’re a beginner, this is all fine. But for the rest of us, we’re just waiting for the wind to get out of the way. The long-period swell is there, but it’s not enough to push through the chop. For the more experienced crew, this stretch is more interesting for a kite session than a surf. The onshores and cross-onshores are going to be blowing all over the place.
Keep an eye on the 19th and 26th. They’re the standouts, but they’re not going to be world-class. It’s all about grabbing a few clean ones when you can.
Alright, that’s the long and short of it. Stay patient.
