Blokken Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming up for Blokken.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a long, dry spell ahead. We're looking at a solid week of pretty ordinary conditions before anything worth paddling out for shows up. The wind is just relentless, blowing onshore or cross-shore and ruining any wave that tries to form. From Wednesday the 2nd all the way through to Tuesday the 8th, it's a write-off. The surf that does pop up is either chopped up, blown out, or just too small and weak to bother with. You'll want to keep your gear in the shed.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday the 6th of September. It's a small window, but the morning shows a bit of life with an offshore breeze from the SE at 9 mph. That'll clean up the 3 ft swell coming from the NNW, which is the direction this spot likes. The energy is weak, only 73, so it's not going to be a world-beater, but it'll be surfable. The water is sitting at 69°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice bonus if you're getting in.

But the real standout, the one that's got me a little excited, is Sunday the 13th of September. The afternoon session is where it's at. We've got a clean 6 ft swell from the WSW pushing in with a moderate energy reading of 269, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm. That’s the magic word. It’ll be a little fat and slow with a 6-second period, but with those conditions, you’ll get some fun, clean lines rolling through.

Then, Monday the 14th of September morning carries that promise forward. Another 6 ft swell from the WNW, this time with a very light offshore SE breeze at 3 mph. Energy is up a notch to 286, and the wind will have it looking clean as a whistle. This two-day window looks like the best bet for the whole 16-day run.

After that, it's back to the grind. The wind picks up again, and conditions go downhill fast. There's a bigger pulse of swell around Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th, with waves over 7 ft, but the wind is straight onshore or cross-onshore, making it messy and dangerous. Honestly, with that much wind and those conditions, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

So, to wrap it up: be patient. The first week is a bust. The real action is tucked away on the weekend of the 13th and the morning of the 14th. Mark it in your calendar.

Rusty.
