The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the waves on the table. It’s a bit of a slow burn at the start, but the second half of this stretch has some real sparkle to it, so hang in there.
The first week is pretty much a waiting game. We’ve got swell in the water, but it’s on the small side and the quality is just not there. Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th have some clean, offshore mornings with waves around 3ft to 3ft from the southwest, and that’s about the best you’ll find. The energy is moderate, in the 300s to 400s. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. The water temp is 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
There’s a gap in the middle where things get really quiet. From the 24th through the 27th, the swell drops off hard, down to 1ft to 2ft. It’s pretty ordinary, and you’d be paddling for nothing. That stretch of a few days is best spent doing something else.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Starting Friday the 28th, the ocean wakes up. Friday afternoon is a standout – the wind goes glassy, the swell is 2ft from the southwest with a long 20-second period. The energy jumps to 715, which is strong and pushing through. It’s going to be clean and lined up.
Saturday the 29th is the pick of the whole run, though. The swell jumps to 4ft on Saturday morning, coming from the southwest with an 18-second period. The energy is a hefty 1253 – that’s strong, powerful stuff. With light, cross-off winds, it’s going to be a proper session for the experienced crew. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Sunday the 30th holds similar size, around 5ft southwest, with moderate offshore winds and energy over 1000 – also excellent, but Saturday morning has that extra bit of juice.
After that, it backs off a touch into Monday and Tuesday, with 3ft to 4ft southwest swell and clean conditions, but the magic of that weekend is gone.
So, if you can wait it out, the 29th and 30th are your days. Just remember, the long-period swell from the southwest will be breaking a bit straight at this beach break. Still, with that clean wind and solid energy, it’s going to be a blast. Keep it simple, and enjoy it when it comes.
Rusty.
