The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here again. Let’s break down this same stretch in feet and miles per hour for those who think that way.
Here’s the deal: a whole lot of nothing good for the next week and a half. We’ve got swell, sure, but the wind is just smashing it. Cross-shore and cross-onshore winds with lumpy, choppy conditions are the norm all the way to the second weekend of September. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
The first real chance to surf something clean isn’t until Saturday the 12th of September at Coombesgate Beach. That’s a solid 12-day drought of bad conditions. That Saturday morning, we get a light cross-offshore breeze and a clean 6ft swell from the W with a 8-second period. Combined energy is 623 (moderate). It’s a beach and reef break, so that direction should work. The afternoon cleans up even better: a gentle NE breeze, still cross-off, and the swell bumps to a solid 8ft from the WSW, energy at 721. That afternoon session is the clear winner. It’s bigger, cleaner, and with light winds, you’ll have some real fun on those peaks. This spot is for beginners, so 8ft is a bit much if you’re just learning, but for everyone else it’s game on.
Sunday the 13th keeps it going. Morning brings a fresh offshore E wind at 18 mph. Swell is 8ft from the W with a 10-second period, energy jumping to a strong 1255. That’s a proper groundswell, and the offshore wind will make it look perfect, but 8ft is expert territory only. The longer period might also make it close out a bit at the beach. The afternoon has a ENE cross-off at 15 mph and a 7ft swell, still clean but slightly smaller.
The standout window is definitely Saturday afternoon the 12th. Clean lines, a fun 8ft from the WSW, light breeze, and the break is ‘fairly consistent’ so you’ll get waves. Just remember, crowds are possible here, so you might have to share.
Monday the 14th fades off with a 5ft W swell and light E cross-off winds, but it’s marginal.
So, tough it out through the messy stuff. That weekend of September 12 and 13 is our only real shot. The near-term call is solid, so get excited for that.
Rusty.
