The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down this next stretch of swell for the local lineups. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so we gotta play it smart.
We kick things off this Saturday morning with some fun, rideable surf. The swell is from the northwest at about 3ft, with a 9-second period, and the energy is moderate. Wind is offshore and light, so it should be pretty clean. Good time for a longboard. The water temp is right where it should be for this time of year.
Saturday afternoon gets a bit more interesting. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the northwest, and the period stretches out to 13 seconds. That's some proper groundswell. The wind goes light and cross-off, leaving the surface nice. This is the pick of the weekend for sure. Just be a little cautious if you're just starting out, as it's got some push.
Sunday morning holds that size, around 5ft, but the wind goes a little cross-on, putting a bit of texture on it. It’s surfable, but not as clean as what we had. By the afternoon, the wind swings more onshore, and it gets pretty choppy. Yeah, I'd give that a miss. The start of the week looks average with messy winds and onshore conditions.
We hit a midweek sweet spot, though. Wednesday morning the swell drops down to 3ft, but the wind goes glassy – dead flat, no ripple. That's a morning for the log. The period is still a decent 12 seconds, so there's some shape on them. Thursday morning is similar, with a touch more size at 5ft and again, glassy conditions. Another great one.
Sadly, after those mornings, it fades out. From Thursday afternoon right through to the middle of the following week, it's small, weak, and blown out. We're talking a proper flat spell with no real recommendations. The winds are all over the place, mostly onshore, and the swell energy just disappears.
There is a pulse of long-period swell around the 15th, but the wind is forecast to be honking onshore, which will chop it to pieces. Friday morning of that second week brings some clean conditions again with light offshore winds, but the swell is only around 2ft. A knee-high dribble. And by the final weekend, it’s essentially flat.
So, the game plan is this: surf Saturday, and get out there for the glassy mornings on Wednesday and Thursday. After that, be prepared for a stretch of nothing much from the 13th through the 18th. It’s a bit of a bummer, but it never stays flat forever. Keep the quiver ready and stay patient.
Rusty out.
