The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break this one down for you.
We’re looking at a slow start with barely a ripple for the first few days. The first proper surfable waves don’t show up until Monday afternoon, August 5th, but the real magic starts building from the Tuesday before that. The standout window is from Monday, August 5th, right through to Thursday, August 8th. The water’s running about 87°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – you won’t need much more than a spring suit.
Malaking Gasang (Baler) is an advanced reef break, so you need to know what you’re doing out there. It’s fairly consistent and exposed to the east. The optimum swell direction is east, and that’s exactly what we get for the best of it. The best on offer will be Tuesday morning, August 6th. We’ve got a clean 3ft east swell with a long period of 16 seconds, giving it proper groundswell push and moderate combined energy (691). That’s the kind of swell that wraps around the reef nicely, and with light cross-shore winds, it should be clean and lined up. Crowds are only sometimes a problem here, so you might get a few out but nothing crazy. The 16-second period means longer waits between sets, but the waves will have real shape and power – classic point/reef territory.
The afternoon glass-off on the 6th will still be fun at 2ft and 19 seconds, with clean conditions. Wednesday, August 7th morning is another highlight: 4ft east-northeast swell at 16 seconds, light offshore breezes, and strong combined energy (772). This is the biggest clean swell of the window, but at 4ft it’s still manageable for strong intermediates. If you’re an expert only, you’ll be in heaven.
After Thursday, August 8th, it fades fast. The end of the run on Friday, August 9th shows only dribbles, and it’s pretty flat again through the second week. The consistency isn’t there for the long haul, but for that mid-week stretch, it’s going to pump.
If you can only paddle out once, make it Tuesday morning, August 6th. That’s the one.
Rusty.
