The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here with a look ahead for our stretch of coast. It’s been a slow couple of days, but we’ve got some real promise on the horizon if you’re patient.
We’re starting off Monday afternoon with a tiny bit of energy, but it’s not worth paddling out for. You can forget about it until Wednesday morning when it starts to pick up a little. Even then, it’s only marginal at best with a bit of crosswind. The real story starts to build from Sunday the 13th, with a long-period NW groundswell pushing through, bringing some serious energy. The wave energy readings are climbing into the moderate range (around 673) by Sunday morning, so there’s some push behind it.
For the real standout, you’re looking at Monday the 14th. That’s when everything lines up. There’s a solid 4ft swell with a nice 12-second period from the NW and the wind goes glassy from the ENE first thing. This will be clean, lined-up surf. It’s a bit of a wind-swell period, but it’ll be rideable. The water temperature is around 73°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Another cracking window is Wednesday the 16th. Early morning there’s glassy conditions again from the NNW with a 5ft NW swell and an 11-second period. That’ll be worth a dawn patrol for sure.
Now, a bit of a heads up: by Saturday the 19th, the swell is getting bigger, hitting 6ft-6ft. The morning of the 19th looks clean with glassy NE winds, so it’s a good option for experienced surfers. But as it gets over 5ft, it’s probably too much for beginners, and the afternoon gets a bit onshore and messy.
Looking further out, Tuesday the 22nd brings a clean morning session with offshore winds from the East and a 4ft NW swell. A good option for a mid-week wave.
Overall, the first few days are a write-off, but from Sunday the 13th onwards we see more action. The clear winners are Monday 14th and Wednesday 16th for the cleanest, most fun waves. Keep an eye on the forecast, as we’re coming into a fun run.
Rusty.
