The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it's a rough patch ahead. The good news is we've got a consistent wave source, but the wind is a real pain in the backside for most of the run. We're looking at a long stretch of messy, choppy conditions, so don't get your hopes up too high.
The only real play I can see, and it's a small one, is at Noosa - Alexandria Bay early on. Wednesday morning, the 5th of August, we've got a clean entry with a glassy 3 ft swell from the ESE. The energy is moderate (169), and the water temp is sitting at 69°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. That's your window. It's small, but it'll be clean and fun on a longboard. After that, the wind shifts and it's a bit of a write-off for a good while.
We then have a long gap of poor conditions. Thursday morning the 6th is clean but tiny at 2 ft, and Friday morning the 7th is a little bigger at 3 ft but the wind is side-on and messy. Saturday and Sunday the 8th and 9th offer a glassy morning, but the swell is still small, and the wind ruins the afternoons.
The following week is a washout. From the 12th onwards, the wind just gets stronger and more onshore. The swell picks up a bit, but it's all wind-affected, short-period junk. By the 16th of August, we're looking at a 5 ft+ swell from the SSE, but it's a six-second period and blown-out, so it's a skip. The best of the second week might be Thursday morning the 20th, with a 4 ft, 9-second SE swell and moderate side-shore, but it's still lumpy and hard work.
So, there's your lot. A bit of a nothing run, but it won't last forever.
Rusty.
