The Lowdown
Alright, let's get this straight. The surf’s been pretty gutless around here, and it’s gonna stay that way for a while.
The first real surf option shows up on September 18th, but it’s nothing to write home about. Up until then, it’s a flat spell. We’re talking days of knee-high dribble and blown-out slop. From the 5th through the 17th, you’ll be lucky to find anything over 3.3ft, and even then, the winds are mostly cross or onshore, making it a messy paddle. There’s a bit of hope around the 10th with some offshore breeze, but the swell is tiny, not enough to push you into anything fun.
The standout, and I'm using that term loosely, is the morning of September 18th. We’ve got some energy finally showing up with a combined swell energy reading of 325 – that’s the most we’ll see in this whole stretch. It's a 4.6ft swell from the east, which is okay for this spot, with a period of 9 seconds. There's some clean texture to it with just a light cross-onshore wind, so it won't be perfect, but it might be the most rideable it’ll get. It's still marginal though. Nothing for the beginners, that's for sure.
Water temp is a balmy 78.3° with the anomaly sitting 6.5° warmer than the long-term average. That’s very unusual for this time of year and it means you can ditch the thick rubber.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a lean one. It’s not going to be good, but it tends not to stay this poor for long. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
Alright, I'll catch you in the water. Probably not, but I'll be there.
