The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, it's a bit of a slow start here. The first decent window we're looking at is around Wednesday morning, August 19th, with a small, clean little pulse at Agate and Pearl Street. We're talking about a 3ft SSW swell, but the period is a juicy 15 seconds, so it’s got some real groundswell energy to it. The combined energy is sitting at 327 (moderate wave energy), and with the wind swinging light offshore from the SW, it should be glassy clean. The water temp is running about average for this time of year.
The real standout, and the one that's got my attention, is the morning of Saturday, August 29th. That's the best we've got on offer. The swell builds to 3ft from the SSW, with a 17-second period. The combined energy jumps to 523 (moderate wave energy), which is the strongest we'll see. The wind is a light cross-onshore, but it's still light enough to keep things ridable. This is a reef break, and with that long period, it should handle the swell well. Keep in mind, crowds are a possibility here at times.
The rest of the run is a bit of a mixed bag. There are plenty of mornings with light winds and small, marginal surf, but nothing that screams "go." The swell is mostly in the 2ft to 2ft range, with a few pulses of longer period energy, but the conditions are often just a little off. The session on Monday, August 31st afternoon has a 5ft W swell, but the period is a short 8 seconds, and with a moderate cross-onshore, it’s going to be choppy and messy. That's looking more like a kiteboarding session than a paddle surf session.
So, for the paddle board, set your sights on the morning of August 29th. That's your best bet. The rest of the time, you're either waiting for a clean window or dealing with small, onshore junk.
Rusty.
