Blokken Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's break it down.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks look tough. We've got a long, dry spell ahead. The first bit of surf that’s even worth talking about doesn't show up until Sunday the 6th of September, and even then it’s a mixed bag. Before that, from now right through until that Saturday the 5th, it’s mostly blown-out, messy, and just plain ugly. There’s some size, sure – we see a peak on Friday the 4th with swell hitting 7 ft from the west with 7-second period, and the energy pushing up to 427 (moderate). But the winds are a nightmare, strong and cross-onshore, churning up the surface. That’s not a day for a paddle, that looks like a kite surfer’s playground at Blokken, honestly. The water’s running real warm right now – 69°F – which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won't be enjoying it in that slop.

Then we get a quiet spell. Swell drops right off. Monday the 7th brings some clean conditions from a light southerly and cross-offshore wind, but the swell is tiny, only 0.7 ft. Glassy, pretty, but nothing to ride. That sets the tone for the rest of the outlook. For days after that, we’re looking at small, weak pulses. On Thursday the 10th of September, we get a hint of life with a 2 ft swell from the NNW (6-second period) and clean-ish cross-off winds, but again, the energy is just 27 (weak). Not worth getting excited about.

The only real standout? If you’re desperate, keep an eye on Sunday the 6th of September. The morning shows a small 2 ft swell from the NNW, period 7 seconds, and a light southerly cross-offshore breeze. The energy is weak at 55, but it’s the cleanest the place will look all week. It’s not a big day, but it’s surfable and the wind will be kind. By the afternoon it goes glassy with almost no swell, so the morning session is your only shot. Just keep your expectations in check – Blokken is inconsistent, and this run proves it.
