The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what’s coming up for our local stretch. Honestly, it’s a pretty flat run for the next while. Let’s get into it.
We’re kicking off the outlook on Monday the 13th, and for the first week and a half, there’s barely a whisper of swell. The energy is really weak, with combined swell readings staying in the single digits to low twenties (like 20 or 23). That’s just not enough to get excited about. The water is sitting at 64°, which is a solid 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s notable, feels like a warm bath compared to normal.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Friday the 24th. We get a bit of a bump from the SW, with waves around 4ft. But the period is a short, weak 5 seconds, so it’s not going to have any punch. The wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be choppy and messy. The wave energy is only about 71 to 72, which is still weak. It’s not really a surfable day for anything fun.
The 25th and 26th keep that same pattern – small, short-period swell with cross-onshore winds, making for lumpy, choppy conditions. The energy creeps up to 94 on the 25th, but that’s still in the weak category. Honestly, with that wind and the beach-and-reef setup, this looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
The only tiny window that might be worth a look is on the morning of Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd. The swell is tiny, only about 1ft, but the wind goes light offshore or cross-off. It’ll be clean, but you’ll be fighting for a waist-high wave that barely has any push. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s not total junk, but it’s a long shot.
There’s no standout option here. Nothing in the 16-day window delivers a proper surf. It’s a long gap of flatness, and then a few days of small, wind-affected junk. We’ll have to hope the forecasts change. Stay tuned.
Rusty.
