The Lowdown
The Standout: Wednesday the 5th of August. That morning is glassy, 4.0m from the WSW with a 15-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 7946. This is exceptional surf for expert surfers only – it’s too big for anyone else. The reef will handle that size well, and with glassy conditions, it’s going to be world-class. The afternoon is still big at 4.0m, but with a light cross-onshore, so the morning is the pick.
Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th of August are blown out with strong winds and big, messy swell. Thursday has 2.5m with a cross-onshore, and Friday is a solid 4.0m with onshore winds – that’s kite-surfing weather, not paddle.
Saturday the 8th of August has a 4.0m WSW swell and a cross-shore wind, which is marginal, but the energy is still huge at 7929. The afternoon is messy again.
Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th of August are big, wild, and onshore – 5.0m and 4.5m with near gale force winds. Stay out of the water unless you’re a madman.
The final few days, from Tuesday the 11th to Wednesday the 12th, the swell drops. Tuesday is still poor with onshore wind, but Wednesday the 12th has a 1.5m SW swell with a clean cross-off wind from the ESE. It’s a small, clean finish, but nothing special.
So, if you’re an expert, the 5th of August is your day. That glassy 4.0m is a once-in-a-while session. The first few days also have some clean windows, but the real standout is that Wednesday.
