The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same stretch of coast but in feet and knots.
Right now, it’s pretty quiet. The first real shot at a wave is the morning of Thursday, 22 August. We’re looking at a NW groundswell with a 9-second period, producing surf around 4ft. The wind is light and offshore out of the E, so the face will be clean. The water temp is 77°F, which is a very unusual 5°F warmer than the long-term average. You won’t need a wetsuit, that’s for sure.
The morning of Friday, 23 August is much smaller, with 2ft waves and offshore wind keeping things tidy.
Now, the standout morning is definitely Friday, 28 August. We’ve got a clean NW swell at chest-to-head-high (6ft) with a 10-second period and light offshore wind. The energy is pumping at 707. This is the best-looking session in the whole forecast – make the call.
Sunday morning, 30 August brings glassy 3ft waves – nothing special but a way to move.
Monday, 31 August is a different beast. The morning sees a massive 10ft NW groundswell with a massive wave energy reading of 1939. The wind is light, but this is way too big for this beginner spot. Unless you’re an expert, you’re better off watching or taking the kite out. This is dangerous for the average surfer.
After that, we get a few onshore days, but the run ends nicely on Wednesday morning, 3 September. We’re looking at a glassy 4ft NW groundswell with light energy (210). It’s clean, offshore, and a nice way to end the outlook.
Best bet: Friday, 28 August for that head-high, clean condition pocket. The big day on the 31st is for experts only.
Rusty.
