The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, let's break it down in feet and miles per hour.
This forecast is a bit of a heartbreaker. We've only got Freshwater East to look at, and the start is a total flat spell. No waves worth talking about until Monday the 7th. After that, it's a long stretch of "almost but not quite," so you've got to pick your window with care.
Monday the 7th is the one to circle on the calendar. Early morning, we're looking at head-high plus swell at 6ft from the southwest, with a proper 13-second interval. That's real groundswell power, and it's carrying some serious energy (1644 combined). The best part? Clean, offshore wind from the WNW, which will groom the waves into perfection. That's a rare day for a spot that rarely breaks. The water is sitting at 65°F, which is over 4 degrees warmer than average – might be a shirtless session. The afternoon gets a bit choppier with a cross-off breeze, so make the most of the morning.
The rest of the first week is a case of "close, but no cigar." Tuesday the 8th has size – 8ft early and 7ft later – but the period drops to 8 seconds, and that strong offshore wind (22 mph) will make paddling out a proper workout. That size is pushing into expert-only territory. Wednesday the 9th is similar but a little smaller, with the same strong breeze.
The second week is a real mixed bag. From the 10th to the 14th, there's waist-high swell from the WSW, but the wind is often cross or cross-off, and the quality just isn't there. Thursday the 10th morning is a total washout with ankle-high 0.3ft waves and onshore wind. There's a bit of a pulse on the 17th – 7ft and a moderate 8-second period – but again, the wind is off-angle. A late-season possibility on the 20th shows 7ft, but it's straight onshore, which will turn that beach and reef into a washing machine. That setup might be better for the kite surfers than us.
So, the honest truth is there’s nowhere else to go. If you want a wave, you have to nail Monday the 7th morning. After that, it’s a long, inconsistent stretch. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a one-morning wonder.
