The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for Batts Rock over the next 16 days is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of flat-to-miserable conditions, with the wind blowing offshore almost constantly, which is a shame because there's hardly any swell to clean up. This is one of those periods where you might be better off doing something else.
The first real chance of anything rideable kicks off later in the period. For the first week and a half, it's pretty much a write-off. From Saturday the 5th right through to Sunday the 14th, the swell is tiny, mostly 0.3ft to 1.0ft from the north, with the combined wave energy barely ticking over (single digits to low teens). The wind is offshore, which would be a dream if there was any wave, but there just isn't. For a few days around the 11th and 12th, we see a slight bump to 1ft, but with a strong breeze pushing 28 mph, paddling out will be a battle for no reward.
The best we can hope for is around Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th. The swell pushes up to 1ft from the north, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy creeps into the moderate range (26 on Wednesday morning, 25 in the afternoon). The wind is offshore and moderate, so the surface will be clean. The 11th also sees a bit of 1ft swell, but that 28 mph wind is just too strong for comfortable paddling.
Look, Batts Rock is a point break that's inconsistent at the best of times, and the swell direction from the north isn't its optimum. It's a reef setup, so a long-period groundswell would be ideal, but we're not getting that here. The water temperature is a warm 85°, which is about average for the time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're waiting for nothing.
Honestly, this is one of those blank runs that's pretty normal for the area. Keep an eye on the charts, but don't hold your breath. The setup is so small and the wind so strong that it's more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.
Rusty.
