The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one to write.
Lookin' at the whole 16-day window for Dogmans, and honestly, it’s a bit of a heartbreaker. The swell just isn’t showing up. We've got a dead flat start right now, and that sets the tone. For the first week, from Sunday the 16th right through to the end of Sunday the 24th, the wave energy is pathetic – readings barely climbing into double digits (20 to 0) – and the swell heights are stuck below 1 foot. You’d be hard-pressed to paddle for a ripple, let alone a wave. There’s a brutal stretch from Monday the 24th through Tuesday the 25th showing straight-up zeros.
Then we roll into the final days of August and the start of September, and it’s still a desert. The combined energy pokes its head up to a paltry 29 on the 26th, but with a period of 6 seconds and a messy onshore breeze, it’s more wind-chop than anything else. We get some glassy mornings on the 29th and 30th, but still with next to no height (0.7 ft). The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least you won't need a winter suit for the paddle of shame.
Alright, if I *have* to pick the best of a bad bunch, it’s a toss-up between a couple of moments that are less bad than the rest. The first one is Wednesday afternoon, the 19th of August. We get a tiny 1.0 ft from the N with a glassy surface. It ain't surf, but it's the prettiest-looking flat day you'll ever see.
The second faint glimmer is Saturday morning, the 29th of August. Again, glassy conditions with 0.7 ft from the N, and you're looking at a combined energy of just 3. It’s not a standout for surfing, it’s a standout for how calm the ocean will look.
For a reef break like Dogmans that’s fairly exposed to the WNW and needs some push, this is a proper dry spell. It’s the kind of run where you either take up fishing or just wait for the next forecast update. Sometimes it's like this. The ocean will come back.
Rusty, signing off.
