The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking out the forecast for the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a bit of a waiting game, but we’ve got a couple of solid windows.
The first real chance to get wet is on Wednesday, September 3rd. The morning is the clear winner. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the WNW, and the wind is dead calm, glassy as can be. The combined energy is a solid 739 (moderate wave energy), so there’s some good push. The period is 9 seconds, which is a long interval for this spot, meaning better shaped waves. It’s a fairly consistent break, so you’ll get waves. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no worries there.
Thursday morning, September 4th, is still decent with 6ft, but the wind turns light cross-on, so it won’t be quite as perfect.
After that, things get a bit ugly. The wind picks up and the swell drops to 2-3ft, and the combined energy dips into the 200-300 range (weak) for a few days. It’s a classic dry spell for this area, nothing to get excited about.
Then we get a second chance on Friday, September 11th. The afternoon session is the other standout. We’re looking at a 6ft NW swell with glassy conditions again. The combined energy is 547 (moderate). The period is a shorter 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit more playful and punchy, with waves coming in more frequently.
Saturday, September 12th morning has a 6ft NW swell, which is big, but a strong north wind will chop it up badly. The energy is huge at 1168 (strong wave energy), but the wind is a deal-breaker for paddle surfing. With that much wind and size, this spot might be better suited for the kite surfers.
So, to sum it up: Your two best bets are Wednesday morning, September 3rd, and Friday afternoon, September 11th. Those are the cleanest, most fun sessions on offer. The rest is mostly a write-off.
Rusty.
