The Lowdown
Hey everyone, Rusty here. Looking at the next 16 days for Agate and Pearl Street, it’s a flat and frustrating stretch. There’s no real action to get excited about, so keep your expectations low.
Starting Saturday 12 September morning, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell out of the SW with a 14-second period and a cross shore wind that’s messing up the surface. Combined energy sits at 210 (moderate), but it’s marginal and the afternoon gets worse with cross-on wind. Sunday 13 is more of the same – 2ft, 14-second period, cross winds, and a score of zero.
Monday 14 drops to 1ft with an 18-second period, but a moderate breeze creates a cross-chop. The energy is 219 (moderate) but the waves are tiny and weak. Tuesday 15 morning offers 2ft at 16 seconds, light cross-on wind, and only 161 energy – flat as a tack. Tuesday afternoon gets a 20-second period and 256 energy, but still only 1ft.
Wednesday 16 morning shows the first hopeful sign: 3ft from the SSW with an 18-second period and light cross-on wind. Energy climbs to 368 (moderate) but it’s marginal. By afternoon we get offshore wind, clean but the swell drops to 2ft. Thursday 17 morning has 2ft SSW swell with offshore wind and 320 energy – still just marginal.
Friday 18 serves up 2ft SW swell with a long 19-second period and 410 energy (moderate), but the wind is cross-on, and it gets choppy in the afternoon. Saturday 19 is a repeat: 2ft, 18 seconds, light cross-on, marginal. Sunday 20 is the best of the bunch – 3ft, 18-second period SW swell, and 487 energy (moderate). With light airs and cross-on wind, you might snag a few knee-to-waist-high waves if you’re on a log.
From Monday 21 through Saturday 27 September, it’s more of the same: 2ft to 3ft, periods from 13 to 18 seconds, and light cross-on or onshore winds. The energy stays moderate, between 276 and 433, but the swell never breaks 3ft. The reef here needs a proper push to work, and with these long-period swells over 15 seconds, the waves will be slow and straight, not offering much. This spot is fairly consistent, but the quality is missing across the board. There’s no standout day here. If you’re itching for a paddle, maybe give Sunday 20 September morning a look for some clean, tiny rollers, but that’s about it.
Rusty.
