The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty.
Alright, let's be straight with you. Looking at the entire 16-day window for Gantheaume Point, it's a tough one. The whole period is essentially a blank run for surf. There's simply no swell of any consequence on the cards. The swell heights are tiny, barely a ripple, and the combined wave energy is very weak, staying under 10 (3) for the entire run. This is pretty normal for the area when it's flat, so don't be disheartened – it's a dry spell, not a disaster.
The water temp is sitting at 77°F, which is about normal for this time of year, about 1°F warmer than average, so nothing to worry about there.
For the first week, from Thursday the 27th of August right through to Friday the 4th of September, it's all poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the swell is negligible. There's a bit of a cleaner window on the morning of Monday the 31st of August with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE, but with zero swell, it's just a glassy flat ocean. The same goes for the mornings of the 1st and 2nd of September with light offshore winds from the ESE, but again, no swell to speak of.
Moving into the second week, from the 5th of September onward, it's more of the same. The swell stays tiny, the wind is all over the shop, and the conditions are consistently poor. The mornings of the 8th, 9th, and 11th of September offer clean conditions with a cross-offshore breeze, but with only 0.3ft of swell on offer, your board is staying on the rack.
The bottom line is that Gantheaume Point is not going to see any surf worth paddling for in this forecast period. It's a flat spell from start to finish. Hang in there, forecasts can change, but for now, it's a no-go.
Rusty.
