The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a quiet start and a long wait for the good stuff.
The first week is pretty much a write-off for a proper session. We’ve got tiny swell all week, with heights hanging around 1 to 2 feet and weak energy. The only real highlight in the early days is a glassy, clean morning on Wednesday August 12th, but with waves that small, you’re just bobbing around. Thursday through to the following Monday all show poor surf conditions despite the clean winds. The swell stays small, the energy is weak, and nothing is coming together.
Tuesday August 18th sees a jump in size, with 7 feet swell from the ESE and moderate energy, but the period is a short 8 seconds and the wind is cross-offshore. It’s described as marginal, and honestly, at that size with that period, it’s messy and only for the keen. That trend continues Wednesday August 19th, with similar conditions.
The real standout is Thursday August 20th. Thursday morning is the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a clean 7 feet swell from the ESE with a 9-second period, strong energy, and a gentle offshore wind from the SSE. That’s a proper groundswell with clean conditions – Boiling Pot will have some power and shape. This is the one to circle. The afternoon drops a little but stays clean and good.
Friday August 21st morning is also worth a mention: glassy conditions with a 5 feet E swell, but the energy drops. It’s a fun, clean option but not the standout Thursday is.
After that, the swell fades back down through the 22nd to the 24th, with onshore winds chopping things up. The end of the month sees tiny, weak swell again with a few glassy moments, but nothing that’ll get the heart racing.
So, for the whole 16-day window, the only clear winner is Thursday August 20th morning. The rest is either too small, too windy, or just average. Be patient, and when that Thursday rolls around, get out there.
Rusty.
