The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for Agate and Pearl Street. This is a reef break for intermediate surfers, and the whole 16-day window is looking quiet. The water is warm – 72°F, which is about 5°F above normal for this time of year – so that’s a nice touch for a small-wave session.
The first possible surf is Sunday morning, September 13th. There’s a tiny 2ft SW swell, period 14 seconds – that’s a long period for such a small wave. Combined energy is 142 (moderate). Wind is light and cross-on from the south at 6 mph, putting a few ripples on the surface. It’s not clean, and the forecast says poor. This one’s for a log or a foil.
Monday September 14th the swell drops to 1ft, but the period jumps to 18 seconds – super long period. Energy is 240 (moderate). Wind picks up to 13 mph cross-shore from the SSE, creating cross-chop. Not inviting.
The best chance in the first week is Wednesday morning September 16th. Swell bumps to 3ft from the SSW, period 18 seconds, energy at 374 (moderate). Wind is light cross-on from the SSW at 6 mph – that light breeze with small ripples is the cleanest surface we’ll see. It’s only a marginal call, but that’s the morning to try for a small, glassy reef wave.
Thursday September 17th morning is similar – 2ft, SSW, 16 seconds, energy 272 (moderate). Wind goes onshore from the WSW at 6 mph, so the surface is glassy but the wave is still tiny. Marginal.
The second week stays small – mostly 2ft to 3ft, SW swells, periods from 16-19 seconds, and energy climbing to 479 on Sunday September 20th (moderate-strong). Mornings with light cross-on wind are the better slots. The standout remains Wednesday morning September 16th for the best combination of size and surface texture, but it’s still a flat period overall. From Monday September 21st onward, it’s a long run of tiny SW groundswell with light winds, but the quality never lifts above marginal. The last week sees wave heights dropping to 2ft-2ft, periods falling to 12-13 seconds. It’s a drawn-out flat spell.
Bring the small-wave setup and a whole lot of patience. The reef will give you something to work with, but there’s no power behind it.
