The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Looks like we’re in for a rough stretch. The 16-day window has some swell, but the conditions are just not playing ball for a proper surf. Let's break it down.
The first real pulse of energy is a few days out, but it's a messy picture. The standout period, if you can call it that, is around Thursday the 10th when a very long-period groundswell rolls in. We’re talking a 21-second period from the SSE, pushing combined energy up to 750. That’s a serious amount of juice in the water. The swell height is only 3 ft, but with that kind of period, it’ll be a deceptive, powerful beast. The wind is a fresh cross-off from the SSW, which will keep it clean. This is a big, heavy, inconsistent wave for advanced surfers only. That long period swell will be breaking straight on the beach, so it’s a reef and point break kind of day. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
Honestly, the rest of the run is a write-off. The swell heights are tiny, or the wind is howling, or both. Friday morning the 11th and Saturday the 12th are flat and clean but with zero energy. The only other blip of bigger swell is on Tuesday the 17th, with a 6 ft swell from the SSE, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a lumpy, close-out mess. The wind is a fresh cross-off from the WNW, so it’ll be clean, but the wave quality will be poor. The energy is moderate at 229.
So, to be brutally honest, there’s no real surf on offer for the next 16 days. The only serious window is that Thursday the 10th, but it’s not for the faint of heart. It’s a classic case of a big, long-period swell with no real structure. For the rest of the time, you’re looking at 2-3 days of tiny, clean waves, then a week of blown-out, short-period junk. The setups look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Rusty.
