The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. Lookin’ at Agate and Pearl Street – it’s a reef break, intermediate level, and it holds up pretty consistently. The water’s real warm, way hotter than usual for the season, like 76°F – feels like summer stuck around.
The first real chance to paddle out comes Sunday morning, September 6th. Swell is 6ft from the S, with a 14-second period, and the energy’s pumping at 1167. Wind is light cross-offshore from the NNE at just 3 mph – that’s glassy, clean water. It’s a bit big for beginners, but for the experienced guys, it’s the best wave of the whole window. The arvo gets choppy, so hit it early.
On Monday, September 7th, the swell pushes up to 8ft from the S, same 14-second period, and the energy hits 3593 – that’s a lot of water moving. But the wind’s cross-onshore from the WNW at 9 mph, so it’s not clean. By the afternoon, wind picks up to 19 mph and it’s a mess. Experts only, and even then, it’s not the pick.
After that, the swell drops off fast. Tuesday the 8th has some 5ft swell but the wind’s onshore. From Wednesday the 9th through the rest of the 16 days, it’s small and weak – most days under 3ft, with energy readings in the 100-300 range. The wind’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s a long, flat spell. No real standouts in the second week.
Your move: Sunday morning, September 6th. Clean, solid S swell, light offshore wind, and the reef will handle that long-period groundswell. That’s your window.
