The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s shaping up for our local stretch.
The next week and a half is looking pretty flat and uninspiring, with a real lull in the action. We’ve got a long gap from now, starting Thursday the 20th, all the way through until Friday the 28th of August where there’s just nothing to get excited about. The surf will be tiny, weak, and the conditions are mostly poor. It’s a real dry spell for paddle surfing.
Come Friday the 28th, things finally wake up. The standout is Focene. A solid WSW swell arrives, pushing 10 ft with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a lot of energy for this spot – the combined energy is sitting at 1165, which is strong. The wind is blowing cross-off from the SSE, which will keep it clean. However, that swell is just too big for this break. It’s a beginner spot, and over 8 ft only the experts should even think about it. The Saturday morning after, the 29th, drops to a more manageable 5 ft from the same direction, with a light cross-off breeze, so that’s your best bet if you’re not a charger. Water temps are about average for this time of year.
The run continues into early September with some smaller, more ordinary waves. The morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September has 5 ft swell from the WSW with glassy conditions, making it clean and surfable, but it’s not a standout. The next morning, the 3rd, is glassy too with 4 ft swell, but it’s only ordinary.
So, the long story short: a lot of waiting, then one big pulse of swell that’s too powerful for the spot, followed by a few small, clean mornings. The 29th of August morning is the one to pencil in, but keep expectations in check.
Rusty.
