The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about our local surf outlook for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window looks like a write-off for any decent surf. The first solid recommendation doesn't kick in until the very end, and even then it's a long shot.
We're looking at a long, dry spell. From now until about the 18th of September, there's just nothing to get excited about. Every single day, every single session, the forecast is calling this "poor surf conditions." The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, and the wind is all over the shop. You’ll see a little bump of energy on Thursday the 10th with a 4ft to 4ft SSE swell, but it’s got a short period of only 6 to 7 seconds, and the wind is a messy cross-shore. The combined energy is moderate, hitting 154, but it’s just not going to line up for a clean wave. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 65°F, which is about average for the time of year, so that’s one nice thing if you’re just floating around.
The only real standout, and I use that word loosely, pops up on the far horizon. Heading into the 18th of September, Friday morning, we finally get a glimmer of hope. Fortunes Rocks Beach is showing a clean, 2ft swell from the SE, but more importantly, the wind is a gentle offshore from the NNW at 9 mph. The energy is still weak at 45, but it's the cleanest setup we’ve seen. The crowd here is "sometimes", so you might have a few mates out, but it won't be crowded. This is the only session in the whole 16 days that looks like it might give you a fun little wave. It's a long way out, so don't bank on it, but it's the only one to keep an eye on.
After that, the rest of the period just fades back into tiny, choppy junk. There is no standout day. The best advice I can give is to find a new hobby for a fortnight. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a big fat zero.
Rusty.
