The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest, it's a tough run ahead for Batts Rock. The forecast is showing a whole lot of nothing for the next 16 days, and I mean a whole lot of nothing. The first sign of any swell doesn't even show up until Thursday the 13th of August, and even then, it's just a whisper.
We're looking at a solid week of absolutely flat conditions. From now until the 13th, the combined wave energy is sitting at zero. It's just all wind and clean skies, but with no swell to work with, that offshore breeze is just a tease. It's a real bummer, especially with the water temperature sitting at a nice 84°F, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year.
Then, on Thursday the 13th, we finally get a pulse. A tiny, 0.3ft north swell creeps in with a 15-second period – that's a long-period groundswell – but the combined energy is pathetic. It's barely enough to tickle the rocks. For a point break like Batts Rock, which is already inconsistent, this is a non-event. The wind is a strong offshore at 22 mph, which would clean it up, but there's just nothing to clean. The same tiny dribble hangs around on the Friday the 14th, but then the wind kicks up to a near gale at 34 mph, making it impossible to paddle. After that, we're back to the flat spell for the rest of the forecast.
There's a couple more moments of 0.3ft north swell around the 19th and 20th of August, with periods dropping to 8 to 10 seconds, but the energy is pitiful. The wind stays offshore, but honestly, it's not worth getting wet for. This is one of those periods where the forecast is just a big blank. For Batts Rock, a quiet run like this is more normal than not, so don't hold your breath. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer right now, but even then, you'd need the wind to cooperate.
There are no standouts here. The best you can hope for is a tiny, clean, barely rideable wave on the morning of the 13th, but that's a long shot. The rest of the week is a write-off.
Rusty.
