The Lowdown
Alright, let me give it to you straight for Fortunes Rocks Beach. We’re in for a long dry spell.
From today, Monday September 14th, straight through to Saturday the 19th, it’s almost completely flat. Swells are tiny – under 2 feet – and most of the time the wind is messy. We’ve got a couple of glassy windows on Tuesday morning and Friday afternoon, but there’s just no push in the water. Not worth paddling out.
The real action kicks in on Sunday the 20th. That’s the standout. Sunday morning we see a solid chest- to head-high easterly swell at 6 feet, with short period but clean cross-offshore wind. The ocean wakes up with strong wave energy (625). Sunday afternoon stays clean and glassy with a waist-high 5-foot easterly swell. Water temp is normal for the season around 62°.
Monday the 21st still has some waist-high waves in the morning with clean sideshore wind, but things fade fast. There’s another spike around Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th, but Thursday is blown out by rain and strong onshore winds. Friday morning, though, looks clean and glassy again with a chest-high easterly swell (4 feet, moderate energy 265).
After that, the surf fades back to nothing for the rest of the month. If you only get one session in the next two weeks, make it Sunday the 20th. That’s the one.
Stay sharp,
Rusty
