The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is a tough one. We’re looking at a real dry spell for decent waves. The first proper surfable conditions don't show up until Thursday the 17th of September, and even then it’s pretty ordinary. You’d be waiting a long time for a small, clean wave.
From the 17th, things start to creep back. Thursday morning (17th) at Cayton Bay Bunkers is just about surfable, with a weak 2 ft swell from the NNW and moderate offshore winds, but the energy is tiny (58). The afternoon is a little better, with a cleaner 3 ft NW swell (energy 116), light offshore breezes, and it’s still clean. Not a standout, but a sign of life.
The best on offer comes on Friday the 18th of September. The morning sees a 4.3 ft swell from the north with a period of 10 seconds, and importantly, clean moderate offshore winds and moderate wave energy (307). That’s a decent little groundswell for the sandbar, and the offshore wind will make it tidy. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year at 61°.
Saturday the 19th also has a pulse in the morning with 4.9 ft swell from the north (340 energy) and clean offshore winds, but it’s a shorter period (8 seconds) so it won’t have the same punch. Still, that’s the pick of the second week.
Other than those two days, from the 20th on it drops back off again into small, weak surf. So in short, you’ve got a long wait until the 18th. That’s your window. It’s not going to be a classic, but if you’re keen, Friday morning looks like the most promising session.
