Embare Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, let’s talk surf for Embare. The next week and a half is mostly small, choppy, not worth your gas. You’re looking at a long gap with nothing decent. But there is one window you’re gonna want to circle on the calendar.

It starts off Tuesday the 18th with a tiny 3-foot swell from the ESE, short period around 8 seconds. Energy’s weak at 112. Glassy in the morning, but it’s just small and weak. Afternoon turns cross-onshore, so no good. Wednesday and Thursday the 19th and 20th are flat – swell down to 2 to 2 feet, messy, no power.

Friday the 21st there’s a 3-foot bump from the ESE, period still short, energy weak at 78. Winds are all over the place, still poor. Saturday the 22nd shows a pulse of S swell, 3 to 4 feet, period getting up to 9-10 seconds, energy now at 227 – you feel the weight. But it’s raining, wind is onshore, so it’s bumpy and ugly. Sunday and Monday the 23rd and 24th are similar – S swell getting up to 4-5 feet, but the wind stays mostly cross-onshore. The period jumps to 14 seconds Monday afternoon, and energy hits 926 – that’s a big groundswell pulse, but with onshore wind, it’s just a lined-up mess.

Now, here’s your one true standout. Tuesday the 25th of August. Early morning is glassy, with a solid 5-foot S swell, period 14 seconds, combined energy at 890. That’s a lot of juice – this one’s for experienced surfers only. Winds are dead calm early, so it’ll be clean. The swell direction is south, which is almost exactly what Embare wants, being sheltered from the south. It’s consistent, so you’ll get sets. The long period means the waves will have power but can be a bit straight for beach breaks – Embare handles it well. Crowds are possible, so get out before dawn.

After Tuesday, it drops fast. Wednesday the 26th still has 3-footers, glassy early, but energy is fading. From Thursday the 27th through Tuesday the 1st of September, it’s tiny – 2 to 3 feet – weak period, mostly onshore winds. Not worth paddling. Energy falls into double digits. Late on Wednesday the 2nd of September, there’s a bump to 4 feet from the SSE, period short at 7 seconds, but the morning wind is clean. Energy is moderate at 290. Could be a surfable session, but nothing to plan a trip around.

So to sum it up: most of this outlook is flat and poor. The one day to get wet is Tuesday the 25th, early morning. Everything else, you’re better off giving the board a rest.

Rusty.
