The Lowdown
Alright, let's be real. The next couple of weeks are looking like a total flat spell with bad wind. Don't get your hopes up for anything epic.
The first time you might want to even think about paddling out is on the morning of Friday, September 18th. It’s not going to be big, just around 2ft, but for the first time in a while we might see some glassy conditions. That long-period southwest groundswell (20 seconds) will have some energy, and the swell energy is moderate at 304. It’s a small window, but that’s the pick of the bunch. Just don't expect much.
Before that, it’s a whole lot of chop and onshore wind. The wind is mostly from the NNW, which is cross-onshore for us, and it just isn't worth the hassle. There's a couple of days around the 12th and 13th where it calms down a bit, but the surf still looks pretty average.
The week after that is mostly poor as well. There's a bigger pulse of swell on Tuesday, September 22nd, with waves up to 6ft, but it's going to be blown out by a strong north wind. With that much wind and that kind of swell at Gold Beach/South Park/Hunter Creek, a beach and reef setup like this is going to be a washing machine. That's more of a kite-surfing day than a surfing day. The swell energy is strong at 826, but it's useless to us.
So, honestly, there are no good surf options in this entire window. The only real highlight is that glassy Friday morning on the 18th, and even that is small. With the water temp at 57°F, right around normal for this time of year, the ocean is just waiting to turn on. It won't stay bad forever. Keep an eye on the forecast, things can change.
