The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Well, truth be told, it’s a pretty grim start. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch before anything worth paddling out for shows up. For the first week or so, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the shop, and the energy just isn’t there. You’ll be staring at a lot of flat, choppy, or onshore junk. Don’t bother suiting up for that.
The first real glimmer of hope comes later. The standout window is aimed squarely at the experienced crew. Around Tuesday, the 8th of September, we’ve got a pulse of energy hitting the coast. The swell jumps up to 7 ft, coming from the SE with a short period of 7 seconds. The energy is moderate (525), but the wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze, which will keep the surface tidy. This is a powerful, chunky wave though—over 5 ft and pushing towards 8 ft, so this is strictly for the advanced surfers. The short period means it’ll be a bit lumpy and close together, but at Boiling Pot, the point break setup should handle that energy okay. It’s not the best shape for a beach break, but for a point, it’ll be a fun, punchy wall.
The conditions are a bit of a mixed bag after that, but the following week, particularly the 11th of September, we see the biggest energy of the whole run. The swell hits 8 ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is very strong (937). The wind stays cross-offshore, keeping the waves clean. Again, this is big, raw power. It’s too big for learners, and even for the average punter, it’ll be a handful. The short period means it’ll be a bit messy, but the point will offer some long, fast walls for the experts.
The water temperature is sitting at 68°, which is a bit cooler than what we usually get this time of year. Not a huge shock, but you’ll want a decent spring suit.
Overall, if you’re an advanced surfer, the 8th and the 11th of September are your best bets. The 11th has the biggest energy, but the 8th might offer a slightly cleaner, more manageable wave. The rest of the window is a bit of a struggle. Keep the board waxed and wait for the call.
Rusty.
