The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks for our local stretch are pretty much a write-off for decent waves. There’s not a single standout session on the cards. The surf just isn’t showing up.
This is one of those blank runs that can hit this area. It happens. Forecasts can change, but for now, don’t get your hopes up.
We do have one spot in the mix, El Caño de la Culata – a sheltered beginner-friendly wave that’s fairly consistent. It’s a S-facing setup and when something sneaks in, it can be fun for the learners.
The whole first week is a bust. Saturday the 29th of August, you’re looking at a tiny 0.7 ft from the WSW with a period of 10 seconds, but it’s cross-off and weak – combined energy is only 9. That’s not worth paddling for. The next two days, Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st, are flat. Tuesday the 1st of September offers a 0.3 ft S swell with a very long 15-second period, but that energy is a measly 4 – you’d be waiting forever for nothing.
Wednesday the 2nd, Thursday the 3rd, Friday the 4th, Saturday the 5th – all flat. Sunday the 6th, Monday the 7th – still nothing doing.
It’s not until Wednesday the 10th of September that we see a pulse: 2 ft from the SSE with a short period of 4 seconds. Combined energy is just 10. It’s clean in the morning with a light offshore flow, but that’s wind swell and it’s tiny. Still, it’s something. The afternoon gets chopped up by a 12 mph onshore breeze.
Thursday the 11th and Friday the 12th stay quiet, with only a 0.7 ft bump on Saturday the 13th.
Finally, on Sunday the 13th of September, we get the biggest wave in this outlook: a 4 ft swell from the SE with a period of 6 seconds. Combined energy reaches 77, which is still weak. The morning is clean under a cross-off breeze from the NNW at 12 mph. That swell direction is from the south-east, but this break is sheltered and optimum is S, so it won’t really wrap in properly. It’s the best on offer, but a 4 ft clean wave for beginners is still a paddle.
Overall: Don’t rush. There’s nothing good on the table. If you’re desperate, Sunday the 13th of September morning might give you a tiny, clean knee-high wave. The rest of the window is flat. Keep an eye on the forecasts – this area can turn around.
Rusty.
