The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again for those using feet and degrees.
Lookin' at the 16-day picture for the break… truth is, it’s a long stretch of thin, poor quality waves. Only a couple spots in the calendar might offer something half-decent.
The very first chance you get to paddle out is Wednesday August 12th morning. Clean as a whistle with a light offshore north wind, but it’s flat – wave height just 0.3ft from the SE, period a short 8 seconds. Energy is a measly 6. Water temperature is running 4°F warmer than usual at 79°, which is very unusual for this time of year. It’s nice for swimming, not for surfing.
Thursday August 13th is a bit better. Morning has 1ft from the south, period a low 4 seconds, but clean with a 20 km/h cross-off wind. Afternoon picks up offshore wind from the WNW at 25 km/h, same clean conditions, but swell drops to 1ft.
Through the weekend the swell stays under 2ft and the wind turns cross-shore or onshore – not good.
Monday August 17th morning is the cleanest moment we get. 2ft from the SSE, period 7 seconds, light offshore NNW wind, energy at 42. It’s not a big day, but it’s the best quality all round.
Things go flat again until Tuesday August 25th and Wednesday August 26th. Swell height jumps to 6ft and 6ft from the east, period 7-8 seconds, with energy in the 318 to 349 range (moderate-strong). But wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it lumpy and messy. Those days are for experts only – beginners will get pounded. The size and onshore wind could actually make it more fun for kite surfing than surfing.
So overall: the single best quality surf is Monday August 17th morning – small, clean, light wind. For size, the end of the window (Aug 25-26) is the biggest but blown out. The rest is flat or poor. The water is way warmer than normal for now, but you’ll be waiting a long time for a decent wave.
Rusty.
