The Lowdown

Alright, boys and girls, let’s talk surf. It’s a lean stretch at Biologia for the next couple of weeks, no two ways about it. The water’s around 51°F, which is a bit above average for this time of year, so that’s a small win. But the waves? Man, they’re mostly non-existent until we get to that Thursday, the 24th.

From the 16th through the 23rd, it’s flat as a tack. Swell heights are mostly under 2 feet, with weak energy readings – nothing but single and low double digits on the energy scale. It’s the kind of stuff that’s barely ankle-biters. The wind is often cross-off or light, so it looks pretty and calm, but there’s just no swell to ride. A few days have some breeze, but it’s all for nothing without any push.

Then, boom. Thursday the 24th morning, we finally get something. Swell jumps to 5 feet from the SE with a 14-second period. That’s real groundswell, and the combined energy is sitting at 967 – that’s strong. The wind is cross-off from the NNW at 22 mph, so the face should be clean. This is the day. It’s got size, it’s got power, and it’s got shape for a point like Biologia. That period is long, which means it’ll have some push, but at 5 feet, it might be a little much for the beginners. The afternoon holds similar size with energy at 901, so you’ve got a solid window.

Friday the 25th is still surfable – 4 feet from the SE, 13-second period, energy around 472 – but it’s already starting to back off. Still clean, but it’s a step down.

Then it fades fast. The 26th drops to 2 feet, and the 27th is back to 1 foot. The rest of the run into October is more of the same – small, weak, and ordinary. There’s a brief offshore on the 30th but with almost no swell. The 1st of October has a little 2-3 foot bump and a gentle cross-off, but the energy is only 66, so it’s still pretty weak.

So, if you’ve got one day to make it count, circle the 24th. That’s your best bet, and it’s not even close. Otherwise, save your energy for a walk on the beach.

Rusty out.
