The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the charts are telling us for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it's a pretty quiet stretch ahead. We've got a long gap of flatness and poor conditions before we see any real pulse of energy.
The forecast starts now, with the first real pulse of surf showing up around Wednesday, August 12th. Even then, it's small. On Wednesday morning at Coombesgate Beach (beach and reef), we're looking at a tiny 2 ft swell from the west with a short period of 10 seconds. The wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze, so it'll be tidy, but there's just not enough water moving. The combined energy is very weak (73). The afternoon picks up a little to 2 ft from the WSW, with clean offshore wind and a bit more energy (94), but it's still very ordinary.
Thursday the 13th sees a slight bump in size to 3 ft from the WSW, and the combined energy climbs into moderate territory (184). But the wind is a problem, switching around to a messy cross-onshore, so expect poor conditions.
We then hit a dead zone from Friday the 14th all the way through to the end of the third week of August. The swell stays below 2 ft for days on end, with onshore and cross-shore winds making a mess of things. Nothing to get excited about.
The only bright spot is a couple of weeks out. Look at Tuesday, August 19th. Wednesday morning, the 20th, is washed out, but on the morning of the 19th, we get a glassy, clean window. The swell bumps up to 2 ft from the west with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is a moderate 81. The wind is a glassy light NNE breeze. It’s not big, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see. Then, on Tuesday, August 25th we get the standout of the entire run. The swell jumps to 4 ft from the WSW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits a strong 252. That’s the most power we’ll see. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping the surf clean. For a beach and reef break, that’s a proper session.
Given how flat it is for so long, the week of the 25th is the one to circle on your calendar. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecasts, but that Tuesday morning looks like the only serious option on offer. The rest of the time? It’s a good chance to clean your wax off.
Rusty.
