The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week is a bit of a struggle. We’ve got some small, weak energy rolling in, but conditions are just not cooperating. The best window for a paddle is actually a few days away.

The standout for the whole period, and the only time I’d really get excited, is Tuesday the 1st of September. We’ve got a solid east swell at 5 ft pushing moderate energy (228). The wind is light and clean, which means the surface will be nice and tidy. This is where you want to be on the points. The swell direction is bang on for the optimum from the east-northeast, so it’s lining up well. Expect a bit of a crowd though, it’s a popular spot.

Before that, we’ve got small, weak waves all week. The best of the early action is Thursday the 28th of August morning, with a clean 3 ft east swell and just 126 in energy. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. The wind is light and clean, so if you’re desperate, you could get a few ankle-snappers.

Over the weekend, the swell picks up a bit on the 30th, hitting 5 ft, but the period is short and the wind is up. It’s going to be messy, and honestly, looks more like a kite-surfing day than a clean paddle session. The energy is moderate (243), but the quality is poor.

The gap between decent sessions is basically a few days of nothing worthwhile until that Tuesday the 1st of September. After that, the 3rd of September has a clean 3 ft east-northeast groundswell (period 9 seconds) with light offshore winds, which is a nice little backup option. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to worry about.

The second week fades out again with small, onshore junk. Just keep your eyes on that Tuesday the 1st of September – that’s the one.

Rusty.
