The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The first few days are a write-off. From Thursday the 20th of August right through until the end of the month, it’s plain ugly. Tiny, weak, short-period swell and rubbish winds. Honestly, you’d be wasting your time even looking at the water. The energy is pathetic – barely registering. There’s a gap of over a week with nothing worthwhile.
The first real glimmer of hope comes right at the start of September. By Tuesday the 1st of September, things get serious. The water sits at 61°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s nice.
Now, the standout window is Tuesday morning the 1st of September. Aisling’s Beach (beach and point) will see a solid 13ft swell from the NE, with a clean offshore from the WSW at 6 mph. The energy is massive – that’s proper grunt – and the period is 10 seconds, so real groundswell power. This is expert territory, way too big for beginners. The wind is offshore, so the faces will be clean and lined up. Later in the day, Tuesday afternoon, it drops to 10ft but stays offshore with a light SW breeze, still excellent. Wednesday the 2nd keeps that 10ft NE swell running with a clean SSW offshore, and the energy is still huge. This is the best run of the whole forecast.
Beyond that, the swell fades and the wind gets messy again. The period drops off, and by Thursday the 3rd it’s dropping to 6ft, and then Friday the 4th is back to junk.
If you’re experienced, lock in the 1st and 2nd of September. That’s the call.
Rusty.
