The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a solid stretch of onshore winds and lumpy, cross-onshore conditions that are going to make things messy more often than not. Don’t get too excited about the size either; it’s not going to be worth the effort most days.
We start off on Thursday the 10th with a bit over 7ft of southeast swell but a fresh cross-onshore breeze is going to chop it right up. Friday the 11th is more of the same, with moderate to fresh winds and rain showers. The swell hangs around the 6.5ft mark (moderate energy, 460), but it’s just not clean. The weekend doesn’t offer much relief either—Saturday and Sunday the 12th and 13th see the swell dropping a bit into the 4ft to 5ft range but that cross-shore wind keeps it bumpy and uninviting.
Early next week, the energy fades out. Monday the 14th is small with a little bit of swell left, but Tuesday and Wednesday the 15th and 16th are tiny, with light winds switching around. That Thursday the 17th, a little pulse of around 5ft mixed with a fresh breeze makes things lumpy again. It just doesn’t clean up.
Now, here is the one tiny bright spot. On Saturday morning the 19th, the wind goes glassy for a few hours. There is a small 2ft swell from the east (38) – barely a ripple. It won’t be a classic, but if you’ve got a longboard and a desperate itch, that might be your one chance for a clean, if tiny, wave. But don’t hold your breath; the afternoon brings back an onshore breeze and a bumpy 6ft.
The following week up to the 25th looks like more of the same—small, bumpy, and generally poor. There is a push of swell around the 24th and 25th, with the 24th seeing a 10ft southeast swell (932, that’s strong energy) but it’s arriving with a moderate cross-onshore blow so it’s going to be a mess. The 25th still has around 8ft but it’s a cross-shore wind again. Honestly, with this much wind and swell, Alexandria Bay is going to be more interesting for the kite crew than for us paddle surfers. There’s just nothing on offer that’s worth battling the elements for.
Stay patient, mate. It’s not looking like a great run.
