The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let me be straight with you. Looking at the whole 16-day picture for Fortunes Rocks Beach, I gotta tell you it’s a rough stretch. There are no good surf options on offer here, and we’re staring down a long, flat run. The first recommendation doesn't appear until Thursday the 10th, and even that one is a marginal call at best. From there, we’ve got a string of days with poor surf conditions and very little energy. There’s a bit of a pulse around the 15th, but it comes with messy winds and onshore slop, so it's not going to be any good for paddling. Honestly, for a spot like this, a blank run like this isn't totally out of the ordinary.
So, the only day that even gets a mention is Thursday, September 10th. In the morning, we see a 5ft south swell with a short period of 7 seconds. That’s a short-period, wind-affected swell, and the energy is moderate at 316. The wind is clean though – a cross-offshore breeze from the west-southwest at 12 mph. That’s about the only saving grace. It’ll keep the surface smooth. But at 5ft, this is getting a bit much for beginners, and with that period, the waves won’t have much shape or push. The water temperature is 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
For the rest of the period, the swell is tiny, the winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the combined energy is weak – mostly two-digit values in the teens and twenties. There’s no standout session in there. If you’re a kite surfer, you might get a look on Tuesday the 15th when the wind is onshore and the swell bumps up a little with moderate energy (291), but for a paddle surfer, it’s a skip.
Keep an eye on the forecasts, because things can change, but right now, this is a tough one.
