Fullers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s coming.

We’re looking at a slow start, but the first few days have some proper clean windows. The standout is Fullers on Tuesday morning, September 8th. It’s a reef break, open to the SW swell, and we’ve got a 3ft swell from the south with a solid 11-second period. The wind is glassy from the WSW at just 3 mph, so it’ll be silk. The combined energy is a moderate 437, and the water is 59°F, which is about 2°F colder than usual – you’ll want a good wetsuit. Tuesday afternoon keeps that glassy feel with 4ft, still looking sweet.

Wednesday morning, September 9th, drops to 2ft but the period jumps to 16 seconds, giving it that long-period groundswell feel. Energy is 315. Winds are still glassy in the morning, so it’s a good call if you like the long lulls. The afternoon gets a little cross-shore, so morning is the session.

There’s a build through the end of the week. By Thursday, September 10th morning, we get 3ft from the SSW at 17 seconds, with a clean cross-offshore wind from the NW at 9 mph. The energy bumps up to 616, which is getting interesting. Thursday morning is another solid pick.

After that, the swell stays small, around 2ft to 3ft, with winds mostly cross-offshore or cross. The period drops into the 6-8 second range on the weekend, so expect weaker, junkier waves. There’s a bigger spike on Tuesday, September 15th, with 5ft to 6ft, but it’s short-period (8-9 seconds) and wind is strong from the NW at 16 mph. That’s a messy, choppy setup – better for the kite board than a surfboard.

We go through a long stretch of average to poor conditions from the 12th to the 21st, with only occasional clean windows. The best of the later period is Tuesday, September 22nd morning – glassy wind, 3ft from the SW at 16 seconds, and good energy (452). That’s a long shot, but it’s the only promising one in the second week.

So, if you’re paddling out, Tuesday morning, September 8th and Thursday morning, September 10th are your best bets. Get in the water early.

Rusty.
