The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let me level with you about the surf outlook for Bob Hall Pier. We’ve got a long stretch of very small, weak, and mostly messy surf on the cards for the next 16 days. Honestly, there’s not a single standout session in the entire forecast window. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is almost always working against us.
The first decent chance doesn’t even show up until Sunday, September 7th, and even then, it’s a struggle. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 85°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least a dip won’t be a shock.
Let's run through it. Starting Sunday morning, August 23rd, we’ve got a tiny 2 ft swell from the SSE with a period of just 4 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 13, and it’s cross-shore with a light breeze. That’s just wind ripples, nothing to ride. This poor theme continues day after day. Every morning and afternoon through the rest of August and into the first week of September is a mix of cross-onshore and onshore winds, with swell heights barely breaking 3 ft and periods stuck at 4-6 seconds. The energy stays in the low double digits, peaking at a measly 53 on the morning of August 30th. It’s all choppy, bumpy, and basically unrideable.
The only small glimmer comes on Saturday, September 5th, in the morning. We get a touch of glassy conditions with a 2 ft swell from the SE. But at 5 seconds period and only 26 energy, the waves are going to be weak and fat. Not worth paddling out for, really.
The biggest swell we see is on the morning of September 6th, with 4 ft from the SE at 5 seconds, and energy hitting 65. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy and ugly. The same rough conditions continue into Monday, September 7th, with 3-4 ft swell and fresh cross-onshore winds at 19 mph, making it lumpy. This is the kind of day where the beach-pier setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The consistent small size and poor wind mean it’s a flat spell for us. It tends not to stay this poor for long, so keep an eye on the charts, but for now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
