The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Agate and Pearl Street. It’s a reef break that works best when the swell is from the west, and right now the water is running about 70°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Honestly, the first week is pretty flat and frustrating. We’ve got a long gap of poor to marginal conditions. The only real standout in the whole 16-day window is the dawn session on Saturday, August 29.
Week 1: August 22 – 28
A slow start. Saturday the 22nd is a write-off: tiny 1 ft swell and a cross-on breeze. Sunday and Monday aren’t any better – still under 2 ft and onshore. Tuesday stays small and messy. Wednesday the 26th finally sees a pulse, with 3 ft in the morning building to 5 ft in the afternoon, but it’s from the south and cross-on. The energy kicks up (1204), but it’s still marginal at best. Thursday and Friday are similar, with small south swell and light cross-on winds. Not worth getting wet.
The Highlight: Saturday, August 29
This is the one. Saturday morning brings a glassy, clean start – no wind, just a slight air. Swell is 3 ft from the SSW with a long 17-second period. The combined energy is solid (508). That long period groundswell is going to wrap in nicely at this exposed reef, and the glassy conditions mean it’ll be smooth and rewarding. Expect some decent shape and longer lulls between sets. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get down early.
Week 2: August 30 – September 6
After that peak, things settle back down. Sunday the 30th is back to 3 ft with onshore winds. A stronger southerly breeze on Monday the 31st kills the vibe. Early September stays marginal, with waist-high swell and mostly cross-on winds. There’s a promising pulse showing up around Friday the 4th of September – 4 ft from the SSW, 19-second period, and strong energy (1404) – but the wind is still cross-on. By Sunday the 6th of September, we see 6 ft from the south (1234), but again, the winds are cross-on. These are promising signals but still not clean enough to call a standout.
So, mark your calendar for Saturday the 29th of August. That’s your best shot for clean, lined-up reef waves. The rest of the window is mostly a waiting game.
Rusty.
