The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. We're looking at a rare 16-day window with basically no surf to speak of. The only spot that even popped up on the radar is Batts Rock, a point break that's inconsistent at the best of times, and it's not delivering now.
The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about 0.7° warmer than usual for this time of year—pretty much normal for the season, so you won't need any extra rubber.
For the entire run, from Wednesday the 12th right through to Thursday the 27th of August, it's a total blank. The combined wave energy is zero or near zero for almost every session, with the highest reading being a measly 5 (5) on the morning of Thursday the 20th. That's as close to flat as it gets. The swell that does show is tiny, maybe 0.3ft to 0.7ft from the north, but with barely any energy behind it. The winds are mostly offshore from the east, which would be great for cleaning things up, but there's simply nothing to clean.
Given the persistent lack of swell and the constant offshore wind, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It's a rare, dry spell here. Don't hold your breath—forecasts can change, but this one is stubborn.
Rusty.
