The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got shaping up.
To be honest, the next week and a half is a bit of a flat spell for A-Bay. There's practically nothing on offer from now until the end of the first week of September. The water's sitting at a warm 82°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least it'll be a nice swim.
We finally see a pulse of energy arriving on Monday, September 7th. The morning brings a 4ft swell out of the southwest with a long 13-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 493. It's a bit of a tricky one though, because the wind is light and onshore from the WNW, which will mess up the surface. The afternoon bumps up to 5ft from the same direction, with stronger energy at 701, but we've got cross-onshore wind and rain showers. It's a marginal call, and only really for the keen ones on a bigger board.
The real standout—and the only one I'd get excited about—is Tuesday, September 8th. The morning shows us a solid 8ft swell from the WSW, with a long 13-second period. That's an expert-only zone with that size; it will be powerful out there. The combined energy is a very strong 2469. However, the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the southwest, so it'll be choppy. If you're an experienced surfer and don't mind a bit of a battle, this is the window.
After that, it drops off again fast. The afternoon of the 8th drops to 8ft with a shorter 11-second period, and the wind turns cross-onshore and choppy. The rest of the 16-day run is tiny waves or flat, with the odd 1ft pulse. Not worth paddling out for.
So, to sum it up: the whole 16-day run is mostly flat, with one big but messy window on Tuesday the 8th. That's your only real chance for a wave, and it's a big, powerful one. For the rest, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
