The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get to it. Desert Point (Bangko-Bangko) is your spot – a shallow reef for advanced surfers only. Water’s about 80°, which is normal for this time of year. Over the next 16 days, there’s a steady stream of SW groundswell, but the forecast's flagged as “marginal” most of the way, which means the magic won’t be easy to find.
Monday the 24th starts with a 7ft swell out of the SSW, period a long 16 seconds, and the combined energy’s real strong at 1856. Cross-off wind from the SE keeps the surface clean. This is expert territory with that kind of juice. Tuesday and Wednesday hold around 6ft to 7ft, still long period, and winds stay cross-off, so the lines should be tidy.
Come Thursday the 27th, the wind turns more cross and puts a bit of chop on it, with the swell dropping to 4ft in the morning before building again. Friday the 28th is the biggest pulse – 8ft SSW swell and energy readings over 3800. That’s very powerful, but the cross wind will put some bump on the face. Still a heavy day for the brave, just not glassy.
The following week eases off but keeps a long period SW groundswell rolling through. The pick of the whole outlook is Monday morning, the 7th of September. Clear skies, a clean cross-off breeze from the SE, and a solid 6ft SSW swell with good energy. That’s the one to circle on the calendar, even if it’s two weeks out. Crowds are common here, so beat the rush.
