The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down what's heading for Fingal Point and Beach.
Honestly, the first week is a tough one. From Wednesday the 16th, it's pretty much all small, weak, and windblown junk. That southerly wind is just going to shred the surface, and the swell's barely a bump. You're not missing much.
There is a little flicker of hope on Saturday the 19th, with a 3ft swell from the SE and a light north wind. The energy's only moderate (173), but with that light breeze, it could be clean enough for a few small waves. It's not going to set the world on fire.
The real bright spot, the one I'd be circling on the calendar, is Wednesday the 23rd. We've got a 5ft SE swell rolling in early, and the wind is a light SSW, giving us a clean, offshore texture. The energy bumps up nicely to 237, and the water's a warm 71°, which is just about perfect for this time of year. That's your best chance for a proper session.
After that, things get messy with onshore winds again, but circle Tuesday the 29th. Glassy conditions, 5ft swell from the ENE, and a clean morning. It’s not going to be pumping, but it’ll be there.
So, the call is simple: steer clear this week. The standout is definitely the morning of Wednesday the 23rd. It’s not a classic, but it's the cleanest and most fun you'll get across the whole 16 days.
Rusty.
