The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim run. The entire 16-day outlook is a proper write-off. There isn't a single session worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions, with a few days of onshore wind that’ll just tear things up further. Damneck Naval Base (Virginia) is the only spot on the radar, and it’s just not cooperating.
The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
It kicks off Thursday the 27th of August with a tiny 2ft east swell, but the energy is pathetic (42). Thursday morning has a cross-off breeze, but it's just not enough to save it. By the afternoon, a cross-shore wind makes a mess. Friday the 28th is the closest we get to decent, with a clean 2ft east swell and a light offshore in the morning, but the wave energy is still weak (65). It’s surfable, but barely worth the effort.
Then it gets worse. From Saturday the 29th, the swell drops to 1ft and the energy is next to nothing (25-29). We get some glassy mornings, but the waves are just too small to do anything with. This flat spell drags on through the end of August and into the first week of September.
There’s a slight bump in swell on the 4th of September, with a 5ft northeast swell rolling in, but the wind is howling onshore from the ENE at 16 mph. The wave energy jumps to 262, which is solid, but the onshore wind destroys it. The same story continues into the 5th and 6th – sizeable swell (4ft to 4ft) with moderate to strong onshore winds. It’s a complete loss for surfing, but if you’re into kiting, that setup is a lot more interesting than paddle surfing.
The last few days of the outlook are a return to tiny, weak swells with poor winds. The morning of the 11th of September has a clean offshore breeze on a 1ft east swell, but the energy is a mere 28. It’s something to look at, but not to ride.
So, bottom line: there’s no standout. No hidden gem. No sneaky session. The whole 16-day window is a dud. Don’t bother waxing up. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run.
