The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at Focene. I’m not gonna sugar-coat it; it’s looking pretty lean out there for the first week or so. The water temperature is about what you’d expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We kick things off on Wednesday the 12th with next to nothing. Tiny little 1ft slop out of the northwest, barely a breath of life in it. Combined energy is just 3. It’s clean enough with a cross-off breeze, but it’s really not worth suiting up for. Wednesday afternoon is even worse, with the wind swinging onshore and washing out that knee-high dribble. This flat, poor quality stuff carries right on through to the middle of the following week.
We finally see a bit of a pulse around Tuesday the 18th. The morning brings a 2ft southerly swell with a period of 6 seconds, combined energy a paltry 38. Winds are clean and offshore, so the surface will be glassy, but it’s still pretty weak. It ticks up slightly through Wednesday the 19th, with the swell hitting 3ft and the energy getting to 81, but it's still being called poor surf conditions. The wind stays clean out of the east-southeast though.
That brings us to Monday the 24th, which is the only real standout in the whole run. For the morning, we’ve got 3ft of swell from the west-southwest, with period around 5 seconds. The energy is 79. Now, the data calls it “surfable but ordinary,” and I’d give you that. The wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean. It’s not big, not powerful, but after all that flatness, it’s the best on offer. For a beginner-friendly spot like Focene, this will be rideable and uncrowded. The afternoon kicks up to 4ft with a bit more period from the west and combined energy of 209, but the wind hits a fresh 22 mph cross-off, making it a bit tricky.
Beyond that, the rest of the window looks poor again with onshore wind and tiny swell. There’s nothing in the second week worth chasing.
So, truth is, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the morning of Monday the 24th is your best bet – clean and rideable for a learner. Otherwise, you might be better off leaving the board in the van for a while.
