The Lowdown

Alright, let’s do it again for the tape measure crew.

So, we got a slow start and a couple of solid pulses before it all fades out. The water is 69°F, right where you’d expect for this time of year. Nothing weird going on there.

The first couple days are dead. Swell is around 1 feet from the east, weak energy, and just not doing a thing. Friday and the weekend are all poor calls. You're better off doing something else.

Then things get a bit more interesting around Sunday the 16th. The swell bumps up to nearly 7 feet from the southeast, but it's a short-period, 7-second deal, so it's going to be a bit lumpy and disorganized. The energy picks up to moderate, but the quality is only marginal. It's bigger, but it's not better. This messy, short-period energy sticks around through Monday and Tuesday, with waves around 8 feet and periods of 7 and 8 seconds. It's the biggest surf of the window, but it's not going to be clean or lined up.

The real standout is Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th. The size drops to around 4 feet, but the period jumps to 11 seconds, which brings in some proper groundswell. The winds are light and cross-off and the conditions look clean. This is when First Point will have the most shape and the best chance of a long, peeling wave. The energy is still moderate, and it just looks more inviting.

Then it all falls apart. From Friday the 21st on, it’s a long stretch of tiny, weak surf. Everything drops under 3 feet, and the energy just fades away. Winds get mixed, and there’s just nothing there. There’s a tiny bump on the 23rd, but it’s not worth your time. The last week of this forecast is a total write-off.

So, for the best session of the lot, your window is Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. That’s the cleanest, best-shaped surf on offer. The bigger days on the 16th through 18th will have more grunt, but for a point break, this short-period stuff can be hard to ride. And at that size, it's definitely not for the beginners. It's a fun, powerful wave for a confident surfer, but it won't be the classic point break perfection. The short-term forecast is solid, but that Wednesday surf is the one to get excited about.

The long range after that is looking pretty grim. It's a huge gap with no surf to speak of. Yeah, it’s a bit of a bummer, but that's how it goes sometimes.

Rusty.
