The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks around our patch.
Right now, it’s pretty flat out there. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions to sit through. The first proper recommendation doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 8th of September, so that’s a good five or six days of nothing worth paddling out for. A bit of a patience tester.
The standout window kicks off on Tuesday the 8th of September, and the pick of that whole run is Tuesday afternoon. Coffs Harbour-North Wall (Coffs Harbour) will see a clean 7ft swell from the SSE, and with a gentle cross-off breeze, it’s going to be well shaped. The combined energy is strong at 685, so there’s some real push behind it. This is for the more experienced crew – that size is getting up there, and the open ocean energy will be solid.
Wednesday the 9th of September morning is another good shout. It drops a little to 4ft from the SSE, but with glassy conditions from a light ENE breeze, it’ll be clean and inviting. The energy is still moderate at 397. Nice option for a more relaxed session.
Thursday the 10th of September afternoon looks interesting but only for the experts. That swell jumps to 8ft from the SE with moderate wave energy of 1262, and it’s clean. That’s big, powerful, and only for those who know what they’re doing.
Friday the 11th of September morning holds a clean 4ft from the SSE with a solid 698 energy reading, and the light offshore wind will keep it tidy. Not quite the same standout as Tuesday, but still worth a mention.
Saturday the 12th of September morning brings a clean 4ft from the SE with moderate energy of 475. It’s a clean morning, but nothing that’ll blow you away.
After that, from Sunday the 13th onwards, it all fades away again. Tiny surf, poor conditions, and mostly onshore winds. A couple of clean but very small days mid-week in the second week, nothing to get excited about. Best to get your fix in that first week window.
Stay safe, keep your eyes on the horizon, and don’t force it when it’s not there.
Rusty.
