The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. Let's get into it.
The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for quality surf. There's a gap from now all the way through to the 21st of August with nothing worth getting excited about. We're seeing tiny bits of swell here and there, but the wind and conditions are just not cooperating.
The only spot on the radar is Cayton Bay Bunkers. The water temp is sitting at 62°, which is about 2° warmer than normal for this time of year – not a big deal, just a touch of warmth.
The first real, albeit small, pulse shows up on the 22nd of August. Saturday morning has some swell coming, but it's short period stuff at 6 seconds from the north, pushing about 3 ft. The combined wave energy is moderate (108), but the wind is a clean cross-off from the SSE at 16 mph, so the surface should be clean. The afternoon picks up a touch to 4 ft, also from the north, but with a short period and a lumpy cross-shore wind from the SE at 19 mph, it’s going to get chopped up. This is a beach/sandbar setup, so with that short period, it's going to be a bit of a mess. Honestly, with that wind and the small, weak swell, this spot might be more interesting for kite surfing than trying to get a decent paddle in.
There's nothing else to call out. It's a lean period. Forecasts can change, but for now, we're in a dry spell. Don't hold your breath.
