The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here again. Looking down the board for the next couple weeks, and it’s a tale of two halves – a bit of a tease, then a whole lot of flat, then a tease again.
Right now, the start is junk. Small, weak surf (59) and crummy winds on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday morning has a bit of size but still nothing special. Then Thursday the 17th – that’s the one. Swell at 2.2m from the SE, period around 8 seconds, and a fresh offshore wind. The energy is pumping (647) and it’s clean. That’s the standout for the first week, no question. Water temp is nothing weird, about normal for this time of year.
That Thursday is the day to surf. The point break will handle it, but expect a crowd – it’s likely. It’s solid, but not too big for the average surfer. Friday drops back down, and then it’s flat – I’m talking dead from the 18th through the 21st. Energy numbers in the teens and twenties, absolute nothing. Don’t bother.
The swell tries to come back on the 22nd, but the winds are crap – cross-shore and rainy, making it all chop. The 25th afternoon is the next little window – clean, 1.7m from the east, gentle offshore. It’s okay, but it’s not that Thursday.
Then the 26th through the 28th are just poor – onshore winds, lumpy, no quality, even though there’s 1.8m of swell. Not worth it. Finally, on the 30th, there’s a morning with 1.3m from the ENE, a light offshore, and clean conditions. That’s a good sign, but it’s far out, so treat it as a “maybe” for now.
Best call is that Thursday the 17th – go then if you can. The 30th is a possibility, but don’t hold your breath. Otherwise, it’s a lot of waiting. For beginners, Thursday at 2.2m is pushing it, and anything bigger later is experts only. Keep an eye on the charts.
Rusty, signing off.
