The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for the local stretch.
We’ve got a long, quiet patch ahead. The first few days are a write-off, with barely a ripple. From Tuesday the 4th right through the 16th, it’s mostly flat or tiny, with hardly any energy to speak of. You’ll be waiting a good while.
The first real sign of life comes in the very early hours of Monday the 17th. A small pulse of swell shows up, offering 3 ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is offshore from the WSW, which is a good sign for clean lines. The combined energy is weak at 77, so it’s not going to be a day of big waves, but it’s a start. The afternoon keeps that same 3 ft NW swell, with a slightly shorter period of 7 seconds, and the offshore breeze holds. We’re looking at beggars-can’t-be-choosers surf here.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is on Wednesday the 19th. The morning sees a proper jump in size: 10 ft from the NW with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is glassy, dead calm, and the combined energy rips in at 1509 – that’s proper power. The water is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. This is a day for experienced surfers only; that size is no joke. The afternoon drops slightly to 8 ft NW with a 10-second period, and the wind goes light cross-shore, still clean enough. Wednesday morning is the absolute pick of the 16 days, no question.
After that, the window closes again. All in all, a long, dry spell, but that Wednesday the 19th makes it worth keeping the board waxed.
Rusty.
