The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm looking straight at the local picture for Damneck Naval Base. I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, so if you’re itching for a wave, you’ll need some patience.
The pattern is dominated by small, weak swells and tricky winds. For the next week and a half, it’s mostly a write-off. From Friday the 28th of August right through to Saturday the 5th of September, the surf is consistently rated as poor. We are looking at a solid 9-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 3ft, and the periods are short, which means weak, gutless waves. The wind is all over the place, often onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of anything that might try to form. The combined swell energy is mostly in the double digits, peaking at a paltry 79 on the Wednesday morning, which is just weak energy.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday the 6th of September. The morning session at Damneck Naval Base sees a bit of a pulse. We get a 2ft swell from the ENE with a long period of 11 seconds, which is proper groundswell. The combined swell energy kicks up to a moderate 101. The wind is light from the west, giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. It’s nothing epic, but after such a dry spell, those “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” will feel like a gift. This is the standout window, but it’s a short one. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and messes it up again.
The next day, Monday the 7th, the swell builds a bit more to 3ft from the ENE with that same long 11-second period, and the energy jumps to a strong 176. But the wind is a letdown – a moderate cross-shore from the NNW that will leave it choppy and uninviting for a paddle board. With that kind of wind and a beach break setup, this might actually be more interesting for a kite surfer than someone with a shortboard.
After that, it fades back into poor conditions. The morning of the 9th of September shows a small 2ft ENE swell going glassy, which is a nice thought, but the energy is still low at 62. And for the rest of the run, it’s back to tiny, weak surf with unfriendly winds.
So, to sum it up: your best bet, and it’s your only real bet, is the morning of Sunday the 6th of September. Get on it early before the wind turns. Everything else is a frustrating wait.
