Arue Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Arue Beach over the next couple of weeks.

To be honest, the opening stretch doesn't look like much. We're looking at a long, quiet spell. The first few days are a write-off for any decent surf, with nothing but tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. You’ll be waiting a good while for anything with a pulse.

The first whisper of hope comes on the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. We see a bump of short-period swell, around 5ft coming from the ENE, but it's still pretty junky. The wind is a stiff cross-offshore breeze, which keeps the surface clean, but the swell is weak and messy. The combined wave energy is a moderate 304. It's a glimpse of something, but nothing to write home about.

By Sunday morning the 6th, the swell is a little smaller at 4ft, and the period is a short 7 seconds. The wind eases to a moderate breeze, but it’s still cross-offshore, keeping it clean. The energy drops to 232. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon session gets a bit better with a gentle breeze, making it a little more pleasant.

The real standout, the only one worth a proper look, is the morning of Monday the 7th of September. The wind swings offshore from the SE, light at 6 mph, promising clean, lined-up waves. The swell is small, only 1ft, but it's from the NNE with a long period of 12 seconds, giving it some real push for its size. The energy is weak at 89, but with light offshore winds and that long-period groundswell, Arue Beach could offer some surprisingly fun, clean little waves. This is your best window for a grovel session on a log or a fish.

After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The rest of the week and into the second week sees tiny, weak swells and mostly poor conditions. The water temperature is sitting around 78°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing special there.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a waiting game. The only real highlight is that Monday morning session. The second week looks flat and unappealing, with no real opportunities on the horizon. It’s one of those stretches where you keep your board in the bag and wait for the next system.

Rusty.
