The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
First off, the honest truth: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat around here. We’ve got a good stretch of nothing much on the cards, so don’t be in a rush to wax up yet. There’s a real gap in the action. From today, Monday the 14th, all the way through to Friday the 25th of September, the surf is basically a no-show – tiny little scraps of swell with almost no energy, mostly reading between 1 and 51 in the combined energy department, which is very weak. It’s a long, quiet period.
The only real glimmer of hope, and I mean the one standout in this whole 16-day window, comes right at the tail end. We're looking at Saturday the 26th of September. Dogmans (Rincon) should finally see a pulse of life early that morning. We’re talking small but clean surf, with swell around 2 ft coming from the NNE. That’s a fair direction for this spot. What makes it worthwhile is the wind: glassy, dead calm. It’s a reef break that’s fairly consistent, so it should be holding the swell okay. The combined energy is around 63, still weak but a lot better than what we’ve seen. It’s still small, but for the size, it'll be fun on a log or a fish. Expect a few others out there – it can get crowded sometimes – but on a little bump like this, it’ll be mellow. The water’s sitting at about 85°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year by just under a degree and a half – not a massive deal, but nice and tropical feeling.
After that, Sunday the 27th of September morning is a similar story – another 2 ft from the NNE with glassy conditions. The energy is a touch higher at 67. It’s still just "surfable but very ordinary," so don’t plan a road trip, but if you’re local and jonesin’, it’s the only show in town.
Monday the 28th of September morning holds a tiny bit of shape, 1 ft from the NNE, still glassy, but the energy is dropping off again. After that, it turns back to dust for the rest of the forecast.
So, to sum it up: the first week and a half is a write-off. Don’t bother. Your best bet, and really the only call to make, is the early glass off on Saturday the 26th of September at Dogmans. It’s small but clean. Set the alarm.
