The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's coming up for Agate and Pearl Street. Let's be straight – this is a quiet stretch. There's no proper surf on offer at the start, and we're looking at a long, flat gap.
The first actual chance to paddle out comes late on Thursday, August 13th, but it's nothing to get excited about. We've got a tiny 2ft south-west groundswell rolling in with a long 16-second period. The combined swell energy is weak (287). Winds are light but onshore, so it's going to be lumpy. Honestly, this is marginal at best.
That lean period pretty much sticks around for the rest of the window. From Friday the 14th right through to the end of the month, the swell stays small – mostly between 2ft and 3ft – with that same south-southwest direction. The period bounces around a bit, from a very long 19 seconds down to a standard 13 seconds, but the wind is always onshore or cross-onshore. There's not a single standout session here.
The best of a bad bunch might be the morning of Monday, August 17th with a 3ft SSW swell at 14 seconds, and a very light WSW wind that's onshore but light enough to keep the surface reasonable (combined energy at 314). Even then, it's a marginal call. Or maybe Saturday, August 15th, with a 3ft SSW swell, but the wind is again onshore at 9 mph, making it messy (562 energy).
Don't expect any big clean waves. The water temp is about average for the time of year. This is a break that needs a better angle and some offshore wind to really work. As it stands, it's a tough outlook. For more than two weeks, there just isn't a good session on the card.
Stay patient, lads.
Rusty.
