The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the first half of this outlook is a bit of a struggle. We’re looking at a long dry spell right through until the 20th of August. That’s a solid ten days or so where, honestly, you’re better off leaving the board in the car. The energy just isn’t there, with the combined swell energy barely registering (often under 10) and the swell heights hovering around a pathetic 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft. The wind is often clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
Things start to look a little more interesting on the 20th of August. The swell finally starts to show a pulse, with the combined energy climbing into the 80s, and we get a consistent 2 ft swell from the SE. The wind is offshore from the W, which is a massive plus for clean conditions. It’s still not big, but it’s ridable. The morning of the 21st of August also offers clean, cross-offshore wind from the NW, but the swell drops back a bit in size.
The one true standout, if you’re patient, is the 24th of August. Monday morning we’ve got a moderate 3 ft swell from the ENE. The real kicker is the combined energy finally cracking three digits (102), which gives it a bit of push. With a clean 9 mph offshore breeze from the W, 47th Street (a beach/jetty setup) will be looking its best. The swell direction is a bit off from the optimum NE, but the clean conditions and that moderate energy make it the pick of the bunch. It’s still not huge, so it’s manageable for most intermediates, and the crowds are “often” there, so be prepared to share.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Rusty.
