The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for us.
First up, the water is sitting at a balmy 75°F – that’s much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.
Right now, there’s nothing doing. The next few days are a write-off. We’ve got a gap of no real surf from Monday the 24th right through until Thursday the 29th of August. It’s a frustrating start with tiny, weak energy and rubbish wind. The combined energy is barely a whisper, down at 12 (weak) on Monday morning, and it’s a similar story of cross and onshore breezes messing up any chance of a wave.
The first real flicker of hope comes on Thursday the 29th of August morning. It’s still pretty marginal, with a small 3ft swell from the NW, but the real kicker is the wind. We’ve got a clean, offshore breeze from the E at just 3 mph. The combined energy is starting to get going at 143 (moderate). It’s surfable, but only just.
The standout window is the morning of Monday the 1st of September. The swell is a solid 6ft from the NW, with a period of 10 seconds, giving it some decent shape. The wind is offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, and you’re looking at clean conditions. The combined energy is pumping at 580 (moderate to strong). This is the best call on offer – a proper session before the work week starts.
Getting a bit further out, there’s a big one on the radar for Monday the 7th of September morning. The swell hits 6ft from the WNW, but the period is a very long 21 seconds. That’s a groundswell with serious energy – the combined energy is a massive 3057 (strong). The wind is glassy, calm from the SE. This is a big, clean, powerful swell. Just be aware, with that long period, it’s going to be a bit straight at the beach. For the more experienced crew, the afternoon shows an 12ft swell from the WNW, but that’s really too big for this spot and only for proper experts.
The rest of the second week is a bit of a mixed bag with onshore winds and messy conditions. The 7th of September morning is the clear standout for the whole outlook.
Rusty.
