The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it.

Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper surf around here. We’re staring down a long stretch of tiny, weak surf and mostly onshore winds. If you were hoping for a solid session, you might want to look elsewhere for a while. There’s a lot of waiting ahead.

The first bit is a write-off, pure and simple. Through the rest of this week and into the weekend, we are seeing nothing but knee-high mush with weak energy values, mostly in the 59 to 154 range. The winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, which just adds to the chop. It’s not going to be any good for a paddle, and honestly, with such weak swell and crappy wind, it looks more interesting for the kite surfers than us.

There’s a real gap in any worthwhile surf here. From now through Sunday the 23rd, it’s basically a flat, bumpy mess. We are looking at a solid week of nothing. The energy is low, the periods are short, and the waves are just messy.

The first time we see *anything* vaguely surfable is on the morning of Thursday the 20th. A little pulse of northwest swell, 2ft, and the wind is glassy. But the period is a weak 6 seconds, and the energy is only 59. It’s surfable, but it’s pretty ordinary. Same story on Friday the 21st – a clean 2ft at dawn but still that short period. Just not enough push behind it.

Now, if you have the patience, there is one event that stands out, and it’s a week and a half out. On Monday the 24th, the forecast shows a jump in size to a 7ft swell from the northwest early in the morning, with energy reading 441. That’s a proper punch. But it is not without its drawbacks. The period is only 8 seconds, and the wind is up, a strong 31 mph onshore. This one is going to be big, stormy, and closed out. Not for the faint of heart, and definitely only for experts. Also, the likelihood of a thunderstorm is high, so you’d be battling the elements. This is the standout for size, but it comes with a serious side of danger.

Other than that, the rest of the window is a write-off. The swell dies right back down into nothing again.

The one bright spot on the whole horizon is the water temperature. When we do get those small clean ones on the 20th, the water is 75°, which is 4° warmer than average for this time of year. That’s a notable bump, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re sitting there waiting for a wave that won’t come.

But right now? It's a waiting game. Hang tight, and keep an eye on that storm for the 24th if you're a glutton for punishment.
