The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's be straight with you. The next few weeks are looking pretty grim for Damneck Naval Base. The swell is tiny and the wind is mostly junk. We've got a long quiet spell ahead.
The first real chance for a wave doesn’t show up until Monday the 31st of August, and even then it's a marginal one. Monday morning we’ve got a tiny 1ft swell coming out of the ESE with a long 19-second period, but the energy is weak (99). The wind is light offshore from the WSW though, so it’ll be clean. It's a beginner break, so for a learner wanting to practice pop-ups in clean, weak conditions, that's about as good as it gets. Monday afternoon the swell stays tiny at 1ft but the period is still very long at 18 seconds, and it goes glassy with light easterly airs. There's a bit more energy pushing through (117), but it's still weak. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The following Tuesday, the 1st of September, we see a bump in size. Tuesday afternoon brings a 4ft swell from the ENE with a 14-second period and moderate energy (558), but the wind is a cross-onshore from the NNE, making it choppy. It's marginal, but it's the biggest we've seen in a while. Still not great.
Friday the 4th of September morning is the standout. We get a clean, glassy morning with a 2ft swell from the East, 12-second period, and decent energy (213). The wind is light from the WSW, glassy conditions. For this break, that’s as good as it’s going to get in this stretch. Clean, small waves for the beginners.
After that, it fades again into tiny, short-period bump with onshore winds. The swell we see on Saturday the 5th is 5ft, but it's got a terrible 5-second period, which means it's just wind slop and not worth paddling out for. The energy is only moderate (138). Not recommended.
So, to sum it up: the only period with anything worth mentioning is from the 1st of September morning through to the 4th of September morning, but the only truly clean, surfable window is that Friday morning the 4th. The rest is a write-off.
