The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Florence-North Jetty has in store over the next couple of weeks.
The start is slow – small, choppy conditions for a few days before things start moving. The real windows open up Thursday the 17th and again Sunday the 23rd, with a couple of clean morning sessions that stand out.
Saturday the 12th – tiny 2ft swell, clean but marginal. Sunday the 13th – 4ft west swell, light cross-off wind, still clean but small. Monday the 14th – 4ft NW, but the north wind picks up, chopping it by the afternoon. Tuesday and Wednesday – surf around 3 to 5ft, but lumpy cross-onshore winds ruin it.
Then Thursday the 17th morning – here we go. 5ft of NW swell, glassy, very good surf. Combined energy at 524 – solid moderate. The afternoon backs off to 5ft, still clean with a light cross-off. Friday the 18th – 4ft in the morning, clean, then drops to 2ft in the afternoon, but with a long 19-second period – proper groundswell, clean but small.
Saturday the 19th – still 2ft, clean in the morning, a bit crossed up later. Sunday the 20th – drops to 2ft and the wind turns onshore – poor. Monday and Tuesday – blown out, messy, surf around 2 to 3ft. Not worth it.
Then Wednesday the 23rd morning – this is the standout. 4ft WNW, glassy, very good surf. Period 12 seconds, combined energy 667 – the strongest of the whole run. This is the pick. The afternoon fades a bit with some onshore wind, but the morning is the one.
Thursday the 24th – 4ft, clean-ish but crossed up. Friday the 25th – drops to 2ft, surfable but ordinary. Saturday the 26th – tiny 1ft, glassy but nothing to ride.
Then Sunday the 27th morning – another gem. 4ft WNW, glassy, very good surf. Energy at 583, period 13 seconds. Clean and punchy. The afternoon gets onshore, but the morning is worth the early paddle.
So the highlights are Thursday the 17th morning and Sunday the 23rd morning – both glassy, clean, with solid swell. The 23rd has the best energy. The 27th is also a good one if you’re free.
Water temp is 56° – about normal for this time of year, maybe a touch cooler.
Florence-North Jetty (Oregon) – it’s a sandbar, so it can be a bit fickle, and long-period swells might break straight, but when it lines up with these clean windows, it’s worth the effort.
Keep the rubber warm, and I’ll see you out there.
Rusty.
