The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming our way at Agate and Pearl Street. It’s a bit of a flat spell to start, gotta be honest with you. The first few days are just not happening for a proper paddle-out. We’re looking at a gap from now through the 25th and 26th where the conditions are marginal at best, with the wind working against us and the swell too weak to get excited about.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Wednesday the 27th of August. We’ve got a long-period groundswell rolling in from the S at 3ft, with a period of 12 seconds. That’s decent energy, with a combined swell energy of 392 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-on from the SW at 6 mph, which will keep things a bit bumpy, but it’s not a total write-off. The water is sitting at 73°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, and it’ll feel like a bathtub out there.
The real standout, if you can call it that, rolls in on Saturday the 30th of August. The morning session is the pick of the bunch. The swell picks up to 4ft from the SSW, with a long period of 16 seconds. That’s serious groundswell energy, with a combined energy reading of 693 (moderate-strong). The wind is onshore from the W at 6 mph, but it’s light, so it won’t mess things up too much. This is a reef break, and that long-period swell is going to wrap in nicely here, offering up some clean-lined walls. It’s a fairly consistent spot, so you won’t be waiting forever between sets. Crowds are sometimes an issue, so expect a few locals out, but it’s worth it for the best wave of the period.
After that, we’ve got a few more mornings with waist-high, long-period leftovers, like the 31st of August and the 1st of September, but the wind starts to get messy again. There’s a flicker of hope on the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September, with a solid 3ft swell from the SW at 18 seconds, pushing the energy up to 601 (moderate-strong). That’s a long-range call, though, so keep an eye on it, but it could be a nice bookend to the run.
Overall, it’s a quiet stretch, but Saturday the 30th is your best bet. Get out there early.
