The Lowdown

Alright, let’s just call it like it is—this stretch is a bust. You’ve got a couple of weeks of mostly nothing, then some big sloppy swell that’s more of a hazard than a treat. There’s a week-long dry spell at the start where you’re just staring at flat water, and when the waves finally show up, the wind’s got other plans. If you’re looking for a reason to paddle out, you might want to keep looking.

The first several days, through the 11th and 12th, are flat trash—tiny 0.2 to 1 foot ESE/SE swell, short weak periods, and mostly cross or onshore wind. Water’s a warm 80°, which is 5° above average—pretty unusual for late summer, but the surf can’t back it up. Nothing worth a paddle.

Sunday the 13th gives you a little tease—1 feet of ESE at 10 seconds, with a light offshore in the morning. Clean, but it’s barely a ripple. Damneck Naval Base is a beginner spot anyway, and even then, you’d be fighting for a knee-high wave. Easy crowd situation, but that’s because there’s nothing to crowd around.

The next week is more of the same—tiny swell, short periods, and messy wind. Then on the 19th, things start to pick up: 5 feet of NE swell at 6 seconds, with a light cross-off breeze in the morning. The energy’s moderate at 143, but with that short period, it’s going to be weak and mushy—not the kind of wave that gets you out of bed. The afternoon jumps to 6 feet ENE but with cross-on wind, and it’s just chop.

From the 20th on, it gets bigger but uglier. 6 to 6 feet of ENE, periods up to 8-9 seconds, and solid energy readings in the 500s. But the wind is howling onshore at 12-20 mph, turning everything into a lumpy mess. By the 23rd, you’re looking at 10 feet of ENE with a 9-second period and insane energy of 1326. That’s not surfable—that’s a washing machine. Onshore gale, huge sloppy waves, and a beach break. That’s kite territory more than paddle territory. Experts would be scratching their heads too.

The 24th backs off to 5 to 6 feet, but it’s still onshore and messy. Nothing clean, nothing lined up.

The best you can say is that the 13th morning is clean but tiny, and the 19th morning is bigger but average. Neither is a standout by any stretch. The long-range stuff looks big on paper but completely blown out. There’s no glory here, folks. This is one of those stretches to sit out, keep the board waxed, and wait for a better forecast. It’ll change eventually—it always does—but right now, I wouldn’t trade my coffee for a session here.
