The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up at Brookings for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it’s a bit slow. We’ve got some small, clean windows to start, but the real heavy stuff is saved for the very end of the run. The water temp is about 57°, which is spot on for the time of year at the South Jetty.
The first session that grabs me is Monday morning, August 17th, at Brookings/South Jetty. You’re looking at a tiny 3 ft swell out of the SSW, but it’s got a nice long 14-second period pushing that moderate energy. The wind is going glassy from the west, so the surface will be like a mirror. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, and crowds are only sometimes a problem, so you can get a few fun ones. Small, but clean as a whistle.
After that, it’s a bit of a lull. The swell stays under 3 ft, and the winds are cross-shore, making for a choppy mess. Things get weak and poor for a few days in the middle of the second week, with energy dropping way down.
Then the kettle boils over. Friday, August 28th, in the afternoon, we get a 10 ft NW swell, but it’s a short, dumpy 7-second period, packing very strong energy. Way too big for beginners, and it’s gonna be a beast for experts only. The wind is clean and cross-offshore, so it’ll look picture-perfect, but that wave is mean. The same goes for Saturday, August 29th, afternoon, with an even bigger 12 ft NW swell and even more energy. This setup is a washing machine. For paddle surfing, it’s a survival mission. Honestly, with that wind and that kind of raw, short-period power, it’s a better bet for the kite surfers.
So, the pick of the litter is that glassy Monday morning. The big stuff at the end is for the brave and the kited.
Rusty.
