The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, taking a look at the same window for the Boiling Pot, but in feet and miles per hour.
The first decent surf to talk about won’t show up until the morning of Sunday, August 16th. Before that, it’s a wasteland of small, weak waves and messy wind. You’re looking at over a week of flat, uninteresting conditions.
The clear winner in this forecast is the morning of Sunday, August 16th. We’ve got a 5ft swell coming from the SSE, and the wind is blowing offshore, keeping the surface clean. The wave energy is moderate (206), and even though the swell period is short at 6 seconds, that offshore wind will make the most of it. That’s the session you want to be on.
Through the rest of that week, the swell hangs around 5ft to 6ft, but the wind is mostly cross-offshore. The mornings of Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st are decent, with a 5ft swell and straight offshore breezes, giving you clean, hollow waves. The energy is solid, in the 370s, so there’s plenty of push.
By Saturday the 22nd, it drops to a 4ft east swell with a nice 9-second period and offshore winds. It’ll be clean and fun for a bigger board. The water is about 68°, which is a touch cooler than average for August, so don’t leave the wetsuit at home.
The last day with a pulse is the morning of Tuesday the 25th. It’s tiny at 2ft, but perfectly glassy. Just a morning paddle with no wind, really.
So, the standout is the morning of Sunday, August 16th at Boiling Pot. 5ft of SSE swell, clean offshore wind, and it’s an inconsistent spot, so the sets will be worth the wait. For the bigger-swell lovers, the 6ft days on the 18th and 19th are there, but the wind is a little more tricky.
Rusty.
