The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's take a look at what's cookin' at Agate and Pearl Street over the next couple of weeks.
It's gonna be a lean run for a while. The water is way warmer than normal for this time of year, 73°, a full 6° above what you'd expect. That's telling you something is out of whack. For the next week or so, we're looking at small, choppy south swell, mostly below 3ft, with cross-onshore winds. Not much to get excited about.
Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are really just a write-off. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th see a slight bump in energy from the south-southwest, with the combined energy hitting up to 812 on Saturday arvo, but it's still choppy. Monday and Tuesday follow the same pattern.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. On Tuesday the 1st of September, early morning, the stars nearly align. The wind goes glassy, dead calm. We get a clean 3ft south swell, period around 11 seconds. The wave energy is moderate (226), but that glassy surface is a major positive. It'll be clean but tiny. This is the best we've got across the whole period, no question.
After that, it's back to small and onshore. There's a little pulse of 4ft south-southwest swell on Thursday the 3rd, but it's blown out. The rest of the first week of September is a bust. From the 6th onwards, it's a steady run of small, messy waves with hardly a score above a 1. Consistent south-southwest swell around 2ft to 3ft, but never with the right wind.
For the second week, the outlook is pretty grim. South-southwest swells keep trickling in, but with moderate west winds clocking in at 9-12 mph creating choppy conditions. The period is decent, around 15-18 seconds, suggesting long-period groundswell, but it's a waste with that wind on it. There's a slight air on Monday the 7th with a cross breeze, but I wouldn't call it a goer. The run of poor conditions looks set to continue without a proper break in the weather.
So, to be straight with you – there's no true standout here. The glassy morning on Tuesday the 1st is your only real chance to get wet without a battle. For the rest of it, you're better off waiting for a change in the pattern. Rusty out.
