The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Agate and Pearl Street over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. We’ve got a solid two weeks ahead but the surf is really struggling to get its act together. The water is sitting at a very unusual 74°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, which feels weird given the lack of decent swell.
The first real standout in this whole window is shaping up to be the morning of Saturday, 15th August. We’ve got a 3ft SSW swell rolling in with a period of 16 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, long-period stuff, which means good shape but it might feel a bit fat and straight at a beach setup. The wind is light and offshore from the WSW at just 3 mph, so it’ll be glassy clean. The combined energy is strong at 433 – there’s some punch there for sure. It’s not huge, but for this break, it’s about the best on offer. Just keep in mind the crowd factor – this spot can get busy sometimes.
Later that same Saturday afternoon, the wind picks up a bit onshore from the west at 9 mph and the quality drops off. So if you’re going, make it a morning mission.
Looking further out, Monday, 17th August afternoon brings a shift. We see a 4ft swell from the west, but the period crashes down to just 7 seconds. That’s short-period, wind-slop energy. The combined energy reads 347, so it’s not weak, but with that period, it’s going to be crumbly, messy, and more of a wrestle than a glide. The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it may clean up slightly, but honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Before that, there’s a long dry spell. From now until mid-August, every day is either poor or marginal at best. There’s no real surf to get excited about. That’s how it goes sometimes – a flat spell that just sits on you.
So to sum it up: if you’re holding out, target Saturday, 15th August morning for the cleanest, most promising waves. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best hand we’ve been dealt. Everything else is either too small, too short-period, or blown out. Stay patient.
Rusty.
