Blue Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ at Blue Bay over the next couple of weeks.

Right now, it’s a bit of a slow start. We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands before anything really lights up. The first few days are looking pretty average, with choppy, crossed-up wind and poor-quality surf. Not worth paddling out for. Hang tight.

But then, things start to clean up nicely. Thursday the 27th morning sees a bit of a pulse showing up, with a 6ft swell out of the south, but the real magic is brewing for Friday the 28th. That morning is the standout. We’re looking at a clean 6ft south swell, glassy conditions, zero wind. The combined energy of all swells directed here is strong at (748). This is that moment you wait for – super clean, shoulder-high waves, and it’s a reef break that’s pretty exposed to the south swell, which is right on the money for optimum direction. Crowds are possible here, so get in early. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

After that, the swell backs off a touch over the weekend and early next week, but conditions remain decent with light winds. Then on Monday the 31st morning, we get another little gem. A long-period groundswell at 4ft from the south with a period of 17 seconds, and it’s dead glassy again. The combined energy of all swells directed here is very strong at (1067). That long period will mean some nice shape, but on a beachier setup, it might break a bit straight – Blue Bay being a reef should handle it well. Worth a look.

We then hit a dry spell from Tuesday the 1st of September afternoon right through to Friday the 5th. A real flat, quiet run with tiny waves and poor conditions. No surf worth talking about for several days.

The second week sees some life again. Saturday the 6th of September morning brings a punchy 8ft south swell, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with moderate wind. However, Sunday the 6th afternoon shapes up with a clean 6ft south swell and offshore wind – solid and clean. Then, the real standout in the second week is Thursday the 10th of September morning. It’s a long-range call, so not as locked in, but the data points at a 8ft south swell, light offshore wind, and combined energy of all swells directed here is strong at (718). That could be the best of the bunch if it holds. It’s a bit big for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’ll be firing.

So, bottom line: Friday the 28th morning is your best bet – clean, glassy, and solid. Keep an eye on that Thursday the 10th as a promising, more powerful option later on.

Stay salty,
Rusty
