The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and tough around here. We’ve got a whole lot of nothing on the horizon for the surf, so don’t be fooled by the clear skies. The ocean is going to be a bit of a mess, mostly small and lumpy, and you’ll be fighting the wind more than riding any waves.
The first few days, from Wednesday the 5th through the weekend, are a total write-off. We’re talking about no swell at all, just clean mornings and then the sea breeze kicking up messy, cross-onshore slop in the afternoon. The wave energy is sitting at zero, which is as weak as it gets. The water temp is a normal 73°F, so nothing weird there, but you won’t need your wetsuit for the waves, just for the wind.
It’s a long stretch of nothing. Monday the 10th, Tuesday the 11th, all the way through to the following week, the story is the same. The mornings are clean with a light offshore, but the swell is just not there. The afternoons are all onshore and bumpy. The only thing this is good for is a kite surf, honestly, if the wind is up. There are a few tiny pulses of waist-high dribble, but with periods of 3 to 4 seconds, it’s just wind chop, not surf.
Then, we finally see a flicker of hope. On Wednesday the 19th of August, there’s a morning with a glassy ocean and a little 2ft swell from the SSE with a period of 5 seconds. The energy is still weak at 19, but it’s the best we’ve seen. It’s a small, clean day for a longboard, but it’s not a stand-out. The wind is dead calm, which will make it look better than it is.
That’s about it. The long-range stuff is still a promise, not a certainty. The second week is looking uninspiring, to say the least. We just have to wait for the ocean to wake up. It’s a blank run, which is a bit more normal for this area, but it tends not to stay this poor for long. Forecasts can change.
Rusty out.
