The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak, and just plain messy conditions ahead. It’s one of those runs where you’re better off tuning up the board or going for a paddle, because there just isn’t much to get excited about.
Looking at the whole window, we’ve got a solid gap of nothing from now until about the 16th. The swell energy is just pathetic, mostly in the single digits and double digits, with a few weak pulses in the 20s and 30s. The waves are tiny, the periods are short and crumbly, and the winds are mostly cross or onshore. It's the kind of stuff that'll have you staring at the ocean wondering if it's even worth the walk.
Now, for the one bright spot, and I mean the only real one, we have to look all the way out to Thursday morning, August 20th over at Damneck Naval Base. This is the clear standout. The guidance shows a proper push of swell, with a summary height of about 4ft and a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy jumps way up to 616, which is strong, and it’s coming from the East, which is right in the zone for this spot. The wind is light from the NE at 3 mph, so there’s a real chance for some clean, lined-up waves. It’s not huge, but it's the best we're going to get. This will be a lot of fun for the better surfers out there. It's a bit much for beginners, but for the crew who knows what they're doing, it's time to go.
That morning is the standout. The afternoon on the 20th sees the swell drop a bit and the wind turn more onshore, so get your session in early. The following morning, Friday, August 21st, also has some size with about 3ft and a 11 second period, but the wind is a light cross-shore and it just doesn’t look as clean. It’s still worth a look but it's not in the same league as Thursday morning. After that, the energy fades back out again and we're back to small, wind-affected dribble for the end of the second week.
So, that’s the story. A long, flat, and forgettable stretch, followed by one promising morning on the 20th. Mark it on the calendar, keep your fingers crossed the forecast holds, and I’ll see you out there if it does.
Rusty out.
