The Lowdown
Alright, let's break down the next couple of weeks in feet and knots. This is Rusty, and I'll be straight with you—this run is looking slim pickings.
We're dealing with a persistent stretch of weak, short-period windswell from the east and southeast. The wind doesn't cooperate for more than a few hours, and the energy is low. Most of the time, the waves are small, choppy, and messy.
The closest thing to a wave window arrives Thursday the 17th . We get a bump of 7-8ft surf from the southeast. The period is still short, only 7 seconds, so it's not going to be clean, but we’ve got a strong offshore breeze from the south at around 19 knots. That'll groom the face. Combined energy is moderate (528). It's a marginal call, but it's the best bet early on.
Friday the 18th morning sees the swell drop to about 5ft from the south-east, but the offshore wind is still clean. The combined energy is moderate (279). It’s a short window of okay, not great, surf.
Now, a flicker of hope much later: Monday the 21st afternoon a big pulse of 10ft surf from the southeast rolls in. The combined wave energy is strong (940). The wind is a cross-off at 15 knots, so it might be workable, but this is a long-range call. Keep your expectations low. It's big enough only for the experts.
The water temp is about 69°F, which is pretty average for the time of year. Crowds are "often" here, so you won't be alone if you go.
The rest of the forecast after that is just small, weak junk. Not much to get excited about. Keep an eye on the sky, but don't plan your week around it.
Rusty.
