The Lowdown
Alright friends, Rusty here with the forecast in feet and the old measurements.
Honestly, the first part of the outlook is a total washout. From Monday the 7th through the middle of the month, we’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions. The wind is blowing all wrong, and the swell is a mess. You’d be wasting your time. The water is about 66°, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a summer anomaly, but it’s not helping the waves.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Wednesday the 16th. The morning brings a small 3ft swell from the west with a 10-second period. The wind is a gentle offshore from the east, and for the first time, it’s clean. The energy is low, only 138, but it’s rideable. If you’re really jonesing, you could get a few.
The action picks up on Friday the 18th. The afternoon session shows a 4ft west swell with an 11-second period and a moderate offshore wind from the east-southeast. The combined energy is a much better 269, and the waves are clean. This is a proper standout.
But the session you really want to plan for is Sunday the 20th. The afternoon goes completely glassy – a slight 5 km/h breeze from the north-northeast, and the swell is a solid 4ft from the west with an 11-second period. The energy is 350, and the water will be like a sheet of glass. This is the best of the whole forecast. The morning of the 20th is also excellent, with a gentle 15 km/h offshore breeze and a 4ft, 12-second swell (432 energy). That’s nearly as good.
After that, the swell drops off and the winds get messy again on the 21st and 22nd, with the period dropping to a pathetic 4 seconds on the 22nd.
So here’s the plan: wait out the first nine days, hit the 18th afternoon if you can, but save your best energy for the 20th. That Sunday is the real deal.
Rusty.
