The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a long quiet spell. The first real chance of a wave? Not until Tuesday the 25th of August. You’re looking at a solid week of tiny, messy, or just plain poor conditions before that. The water’s sitting at a very warm 72°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like summer has a real grip on things.
The standout here, and really the only window worth circling on the calendar, is that Tuesday the 25th of August. The swell picks up significantly, with a combined energy reading of 1893 (moderate wave energy). We’re looking at a 5ft SSW swell pumping in. The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it won’t be glassy, but it’ll be clean enough. The period is a decent 16 seconds, so there’s some proper groundswell grunt behind it. This swell is pushing into the 7ft range by the afternoon (2065 combined energy), but that’s getting into expert-only territory, especially with the wind picking up a notch. The morning session is the pick – 5ft, light winds, and that long-period SSW energy. It’s a breakwater setup, so it’ll handle that direction well. The crowd factor is there, though – it’s often busy, so expect company.
The rest of the second week? Wednesday the 26th still has some size, around 7ft, but the wind turns onshore from the S, making it a bit of a mess. It drops off quickly after that, back to small stuff by Thursday the 27th.
So, short version: don’t bother this week. Wait for Tuesday morning the 25th of August. That’s your best bet.
