Barron Rivermouth Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it.

Okay folks, let's talk about what we've got on the table for the next couple of weeks. The standout break is Barron Rivermouth. Don't get too excited just yet, because it’s a slow start. The water is sitting at a very warm 90°, which is a solid 4° above average, so that’s pretty unusual for this time of year. You're not going to need a full wetsuit, that's for sure.

We kick off with things looking a bit flat and messy. This Sunday afternoon, the 13th of September, is a write-off. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the southwest with a long 13-second period, but the wind is cross-on at 9 mph, and the wave energy is pretty weak (273). It’s going to be choppy and poor.

Monday the 14th offers us the first real glimmer of hope. In the afternoon, the wind drops to glassy, and the swell holds at 2 ft from the southwest with an even longer 18-second period. The energy jumps into a moderate range (382). It’s the first time you’ll see something clean, but it’s still only knee-high.

Tuesday and Wednesday mornings bring more promise. Wednesday the 16th morning is looking sharp with glassy conditions and a 3 ft southwest swell, 16-second period, and solid wave energy (570). That’s your first real standout. Clean, long-period groundswell. Keep in mind, that long period means it might wall up a bit fast here, but for a point/river mouth, it should be a treat.

Thursday the 17th morning is another beauty: glassy again, 3 ft southwest swell, 14-second period, and good energy (525). That’s a top pick for a cleaner session.

After a bit of a lull in quality through the back half of the week and the weekend, we get another wave of clean conditions. Monday the 21st morning is glassy with a 3 ft southwest swell, 17-second period, and strong energy (552). That's a classic long-period glassy morning. Another standout.

Then we hit a bit of a quiet stretch until the very end of the run. The last week of September shows building swell, but the winds are often messy. However, Saturday the 27th morning brings a solid 4 ft SSW swell with a 13-second period and very strong energy (778). It’s onshore wind, but the size is there.

The real beast arrives on Monday the 28th of September morning. We see a 5 ft southwest swell, a 13-second period, and massive energy (1581). This is big. It’s only for experienced surfers at that size. The wind is light and onshore, so it could be lumpy, but the power is undeniable.

To sum it up: your absolute best windows for a clean, fun wave on a longer board are Wednesday the 16th morning, Thursday the 17th morning, and Monday the 21st morning. If you’ve got the skills and want some real grunt, keep an eye on that Monday the 28th, but it’s going to be a handful.

Rusty.
