The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Honestly, the outlook for this stretch is a flat, blown-out mess. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The wave energy is next to nothing, and what little bump shows up is onshore junk. It’s a blank run, plain and simple.
Looking at the first few days, Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are dead flat, with waves barely cracking 0.7ft. There’s a bit of glass out there, but on a sea that small, it’s not even a ripple. Tuesday and Wednesday see a slight bump to around 2ft to 2ft, but it’s all short-period, 4-5 second wind slop, coming from the east and cross-onshore. The water’s about 82°, a couple degrees warmer than normal for this time of year, which is notable, but you’re not going to need a wetsuit for what’s on offer—which is nothing.
The following days, from Thursday the 3rd through Saturday the 5th, are just as bad. We see the swell drop back down to 0.3ft to 1ft. It’s a total flat spell. There’s a little cross-off wind on Thursday morning that cleans it up, but there’s no wave to ride.
From the 6th through the 8th, there’s a small pulse, with the swell pushing up to a mighty 3ft on Monday the 7th. But don’t get excited. The period is a weak 5 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore or onshore from the east, making for choppy, messy conditions. This isn’t surf; this is just bump.
The second week is more of the same. There’s a slight increase in period to 6 seconds around the 9th and 10th, and the swell hangs around 3ft. But it’s all onshore and weak. Still, that’s poor surf quality and not worth a second look. The rest of the week trails off into flatness again.
Look, the bottom line is this: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It’s a total bust. The models are showing nothing but small, short-period, wind-affected slop. I’m not even going to name a break to go to, because there’s nothing. This blank run can happen, but it could turn around. Forecasts change, but right now, I’d leave the boards in the van and go for a swim.
Stay thirsty.
