The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipeline for Batts Rock.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, things are looking pretty flat. There’s a long stretch of nothing happening for the first week and change. It’s a tough run. The wave energy is almost non-existent for most of that time.
We start seeing a tiny pulse around Sunday afternoon, August 30th. A small 0.7 ft swell from the north with a period of 12 seconds shows up. The combined swell energy is only 11, which is very weak. You could probably count the number of rideable waves on one hand. The wind is offshore, which is a positive for the clean face, but there’s just not enough push.
That skinny pattern of tiny, weak NNW to N swells, with periods hanging between 8 and 12 seconds, continues all the way through to Friday, September 11th. The offshore wind continues to blow fresh most days, which would make the surface glassy if there was any water moving. The water temp here is 84°, which is about average for this time of year.
The only tiny glimmer shows up on the last day of the outlook, Saturday, September 12th. The swell bumps up to 2 ft to 2 ft from the north, with a period of 11 to 12 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 91 (moderate low end still). It’s still not big, but it’s the best on offer for the entire forecast. The wind stays fresh offshore and clean.
Because the swell is small and the break is a point, those longer period groundswells won’t close out straight away, so the shape could be okay, but it will remain very inconsistent. Given this is Batts Rock (Barbados), and it’s naturally inconsistent, this flat spell is more normal for the area. Don't expect much. Keep an eye on it, things can change.
Rusty.
