The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
The outlook for this spot is a grind, to be honest. We’ve got a long stretch of small, short-period windswell with onshore or cross-off winds, so the quality is going to be a struggle. The water is sitting at about 84°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no worries there.
The first real shot at anything decent is on Wednesday, 26 August. The morning sees a fresh offshore breeze from the ENE at 19 mph, with the swell coming from the same direction at 5 ft and an 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate (299). It’s marginal, but that offshore wind is a major plus for clean conditions. The afternoon is similar, with the swell nudging up to 5 ft from the E and a 16 mph offshore wind. The energy climbs to 369. It’s not big, but it will be the cleanest we’ve seen so far.
The best window in the whole 16 days looks like Monday, 31 August. The morning session has a clean 7 ft swell from the ENE with a 12-second period, which is proper groundswell. The combined energy is strong at 1216. The wind is a light cross-off at 9 mph, so it’ll be clean. The break is a reef, so that longer period will work nicely. This is the standout. Just be aware, the crowds are often here, so you’ll have company. This one is for the experienced crew; 7 ft on a reef can get a bit heavy for beginners.
After that, things drop off again. The end of the first week of September sees a shift in swell direction to the NNE, but the size drops right down to under 3 ft, and the wind stays cross-off or onshore. There’s not much to get excited about. The second week is a bit of a write-off with small, weak swell and fresh winds. The whole period feels like a waiting game for that one day on the 31st.
That’s the story. Stay patient.
Rusty.
