The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this out there. It’s a pretty bleak stretch for a while, folks. I’m looking at the next 16 days and honestly, the start of it is a write-off. We’ve got a whole lot of small, wind-blown junk and not a single wave worth paddling out for until we get right to the end.
The first real chance of anything comes on the 19th of August, and even that’s marginal. The swell direction is straight out of the west, which is what this spot wants, and there’s about 6ft of it, but the winds are on it. It’s a long way out, so I wouldn’t book the day off work just yet.
The standout—and I mean the only standout in this whole window—looks like the 18th of August. That’s a Monday. The swell builds through the day, hitting 10ft by the afternoon with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a lot of water moving, and the combined energy is strong, reading 1232. This is only for experts though, way too big for most. The wind is on it from the WNW, so it’s going to be a messy, powerful beast. This is a spot that’s a beach and reef setup, so with that much swell and wind, it’s going to be heavy. It might be more interesting for the kite crew than the paddle crew, to be honest.
Before that, the 13th of August has a bit of a pulse, with 4ft on the Thursday afternoon, but the wind is still on it. It’s just not clean. The same goes for the 16th, which gets to 5ft, but again, that fresh breeze from the west-northwest is going to ruin it.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. It’s just a whole lot of waiting for one big, gnarly, blustery day. And even that one is a gamble. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
