The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let me break it down in feet and knots.
Honestly, mate, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a flat spell. A long one. From this Monday morning right through to the end of the 16-day window on Tuesday, September 22nd, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. That’s a solid couple of weeks with no real surf on offer, so it’s a good time to swap the wax for a cold one.
The one spot we’ve got to look at is Dunes Hotel itself. It’s a sheltered beginner break that rarely gets any size, and this forecast shows why. The water's sitting about 82°F – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – but you won’t be feeling it on a wave.
The most energy we see is on Wednesday afternoon, September 9th, with a tiny 2ft NNE windswell and weak wave energy (69). The wind is straight onshore, so it’ll be bumpy. Every other day is a complete write-off, with swell barely breaking 1ft and the wind mostly cross-onshore or onshore. Thursday the 10th has a bit of 2ft NNE swell, but the wind’s still messy from the southeast.
If you’re absolutely desperate, there’s a small bump on Tuesday morning, September 22nd, showing a 2ft NNE swell with a glassy early window (35 combined energy), but it’s way too small to ride a proper log on. For this stretch, you’re better off checking the kite surfers if the wind picks up, because for a paddle surfer, it’s a bust.
This kind of blank run isn’t unusual for a sheltered setup like Dunes Hotel. The forecasts might change, but for now, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
