The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on the table for this stretch.
The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak overall, with a long flat spell up front. The guiding wind for our setup, Agate and Pearl Street, is out of the west, which can work, but the swell just isn't cooperating for a while. We're looking at a gap of about a week before anything even worth mentioning shows up.
Right off the bat, the water temp is sitting at a very unusual 74°, which is 6° warmer than normal for this time of year – that's a real standout.
The main action, such as it is, doesn't even kick in until that Wednesday morning, the 9th of September. We get a tiny pulse of groundswell, 2ft from the southwest at a very long 16 seconds. The combined energy is weak (324), but with glassy conditions and a slight air, it'll be the cleanest it gets. It's small, but for a clever surfer on a log, it could be a fun, quiet session. That's about the only true highlight in the whole outlook.
After that, it's a real struggle. The 10th and 11th see the swell stay small (3ft to 3ft) and the wind turning cross or cross-on, keeping things marginal at best. From the 12th through to the 20th of September, it's a write-off. The swell drops out even further, and while there's some long-period energy from the southwest, it's just too weak to push any decent shape. Most days are showing poor conditions and low energy (values between 174 and 487). This exposed reef is just not catching enough.
The very end of the outlook, on the 21st of September (a Monday), shows a tiny uptick. We see 3ft to 3ft from the southwest, still a long period (17 seconds), and the wave energy climbs to a moderate 534 to 611. The wind is still cross-on, which isn't perfect, but it's at least surfable. It's not a standout by any means, but it's the only window in the second week where you won't be staring at a flat ocean. It’s still pretty weak stuff, just so you know.
Honestly, if there's a day to paddle out, it's that glassy Wednesday morning (9th of September). The rest is a waiting game.
