The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is one of those stretches where Mother Nature just isn’t playing ball. We’ve got a full 16-day window ahead, and to be honest, there’s nothing in the mix that gets the stoke going. The swell is tiny and weak, the winds are messy, and the whole setup looks pretty flat and average for a long while.
The first real sniff of any surfable waves doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 9th of September, and even then it’s barely a whisper. We’ve got a couple of mornings – Wednesday the 9th, Monday the 14th, and Tuesday the 15th – where the conditions clean up with light offshore breezes, but the swell is just not there. We’re talking 1.3ft to 2ft of weak, short-period swell from the SE and ENE directions. The energy is low, reading between 43 and 68 on the scale. It’s not going to give you a proper wave, just some crumbly little shoulders. You might get a few fun rides on a log if you’re desperate, but that’s about it.
Then on Thursday the 17th of September, the swell bumps up a little – 3.6ft from the east – but the period is a short 5 seconds, and the wind swings onshore and cross-onshore from the north. It’s going to be choppy and lumpy, not worth paddling out for. The energy climbs to 78, but it’s all wind chop with no real shape. After that, it drops right back down into the tiny stuff for the rest of the outlook.
The only break in the mix is Damneck Naval Base. The water temp is a toasty 83.1°F with a huge anomaly of 7.2°F – that’s way warmer than usual for this time of year, so you won’t need a wetsuit, just a board and a lot of patience. But don’t expect any crowds, because there’s nothing to crowd over.
Honestly, if you’re itching for something on a board, this setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle. The winds are consistent and the waves are weak – classic kite territory. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, there’s not a single standout in the whole 16 days.
