The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer up at Alexandria Bay.
Well, I gotta be straight with ya. For the next couple of weeks, it's looking pretty bleak. The swell is just not cooperating, and when there is a bit of size, the wind has got other plans. There's a long stretch here where you're really not gonna want to paddle out unless you're desperate for a saltwater bath.
Let's run through it. We kick off on Sunday the 6th with a tiny 3ft NE windswell at a short 5 seconds, and a cross-shore wind. The combined energy is weak at just 82, and the whole setup is just poor. That sets the tone. Monday the 7th is more of the same – a bit of SE swell, but cross-onshore winds and chop. Tuesday the 8th drops right off to 1.0ft. The pattern of onshore wind and messy surf just keeps rolling through the whole first week and into the second. We get a spike of size on Thursday the 10th – a solid 10ft from the SSE on the afternoon, but it's accompanied by a strong cross-onshore wind at 25 mph. The energy is pumping at 1177, but it's going to be a complete mess, a washing machine. That one's for kites and tow-in guys, not for a standard paddle session. That size drops through the weekend and into the next week, but the wind never really cleans up.
Now, there is a tiny window, and I mean tiny. On Tuesday the 15th, the early morning session could be worth a look. We've got glassy conditions, a light 2ft E swell. The water temp is 70°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. The energy is low at 47, and the comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's not going to be epic, but if you're jonesing, that's your best chance for a clean little wave before the wind swings onshore again in the afternoon. It's the only real stand-out, and it's not even a stand-out, more of a "maybe worth a look".
So, in short, this is a poor run for Alexandria Bay. It's a long wait for anything decent. You're looking at at least two weeks of mostly rubbish, with that one Tuesday morning as the only real hope for a clean wave. Keep an eye on the charts, things can change, but right now, it's a pretty quiet outlook.
Rusty.
