The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it, folks. For the next couple of weeks, we're looking at a bit of a rough patch before things clean up in a big way. We're going to have to be patient, but there's a real gem hiding in there.
From Monday the 14th through Saturday the 19th, the surf is going to be a mess. We've got solid waves, around 4 to 6 feet, but the wind is just going to ruin them. Fresh cross-onshore winds are making everything lumpy and choppy. Swell energy is moderate, reading between 202 and 397, but it's all surface chop with no real shape. The periods are short too, mostly in the 7-to-9-second range. If you paddle out, you're just fighting a losing battle. A total write-off.
Sunday the 20th is a tease. The wind finally drops and we get a glassy morning, but the swell has backed off to around 4 feet. It's surfable, but it's ordinary. Just a messy, weak wave. The energy is down to 220. There's another pulse on Tuesday the 22nd with up to 6 feet of swell, but it's still got light cross-shore winds, so it's not clean. It’s not the one.
The real change comes on Friday the 25th. We finally see a true offshore wind with a clean 3 to 3-foot wave with a longer 14-second period. It’s small, but it’s clean. The energy is moderate at 297. It’s a sign of things to come.
And then, bam. Sunday the 27th is the big one. A proper groundswell rolls in, pushing the surf to a solid 10 feet from the west-southwest. The energy readings are through the roof, posting a giant 1397 in the morning and a massive 1780 in the afternoon. The period is 10 to 11 seconds. But the key is the wind: offshore in the morning, and totally glassy by the afternoon. This is a big, powerful swell, and it's strictly for experienced surfers only. The waves are going to be heavy and on the push. This is the one you've been waiting for. It's a long way out, over a week, but the forecast is looking special. This is the session to mark on the calendar.
After that, Monday the 28th is still clean but much smaller, around 4 to 5 feet. It's a fun option if you want a slightly less intense follow-up. But the standout is the big one on Sunday. Keep your fingers crossed that forecast holds, because that's going to be a day to remember.
Rusty out.
