The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming.
The surf window starts Monday, August 3rd, at Coffee Bay Point. Not a ripper start. Swell is 7ft from the east-southeast, but the wind is a light cross-onshore out of the northeast at 3 mph. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for the season, about 71°, just slightly above average. The combined energy is strong at 1174 (moderate to strong). The afternoon goes downhill – more wind, choppier, smaller.
Tuesday, August 4th, stays poor with cross-onshore breeze and dropping swell. Wednesday is tiny and crossed up. Thursday, August 6th, brings a clean morning – 3ft of SSW swell with a 16-second period and a cross-offshore wind. It’s clean but small. That’s a long-period groundswell, good for the point.
Friday morning, August 7th, is the first clean little window. 3ft of SSW swell, 13-second period, clean faces with a cross-offshore breeze. Small but rideable.
Then it gets quiet. Saturday through Monday (August 8th-10th) is mostly poor, choppy, or blown out. Sunday, August 9th, has a clean but tiny 4ft SSW swell with cross-offshore wind – still marginal.
Now, the one to watch. Wednesday, August 12th. The morning shows 7ft of east-northeast swell, only a 8-second period, but the wind is glassy – dead calm. Afternoon bumps to 8ft of the same swell, still glassy. That 8ft is expert territory, but at a point break with no wind, it could be a proper session. Combined energy is moderate (816 morning, 998 afternoon). That’s the standout, over a week out, so keep an ear to the ground.
After that, Thursday August 13th is smaller and crossed up, then it fades into poor conditions through the second week. Saturday, August 15th, has a 4ft SSW swell with a 16-second period and light cross-onshore wind – marginal at best. Nothing else worth paddling for.
So, to sum it: a slow start, a clean little Friday the 7th, and a real promise on Wednesday, August 12th with glassy 8ft waves. The rest is mostly a write-off. For the second week, don’t get your hopes up.
Rusty.
