The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – the next 16 days are a bit of a drought for surf around here. Batts Rock is the only break on the radar, and it’s barely ticking over. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Right now, from Monday 31 August through to the end of the first week, it’s flat with tiny, poor conditions. Swell heights are hanging around 0.7 ft to 0.7 ft, coming from the north with a period around 9 to 11 seconds – that’s a weak, short-period groundswell that just doesn’t have any punch. The combined energy is pathetic, ranging from 1 to 14 (weak energy). The wind is offshore from the east, which is clean, but there’s nothing to ride. A few days in early September, like Thursday 3rd to Saturday 5th, show zero swell at all. There’s a stretch from Thursday 3rd September to Monday 7th September where it’s essentially flat with no wave energy.
By the second week, from Monday 7th September, we start seeing a tiny bump – still waves under 1.0 ft from the north-northwest, with periods stretching to 10-14 seconds, so a bit more groundswell character. Combined energy barely climbs to 34 on Friday 11th September (still weak), but it’s not enough to get excited about. The wind stays offshore and fresh, but the surf is too small for most. The inconsistency at Batts Rock is a real issue here.
Honestly, there’s no standout. The best bet is probably Friday 11th September morning when the swell hits 1.0 ft from the NNW with a 10-second period, combined energy at 34, and offshore east winds at 18 mph keeping it clean. But even then, it’s barely a ripple. This is a classic quiet spell – forecasts can change, but for now, keep the board in the car and wait for a better window.
