Golfcourse Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for the local stretch. We’ve got a bit of a rough patch to start, but there’s a glimmer of something cleaner later on.

The first decent chance doesn’t show up until Monday, September 7th, and even then it’s a bit of a mixed bag. For the first few days, the wind is howling from the northeast, pretty much right across the face, making things a washing machine. The swell is there, but it’s not really surfable. We’re looking at a 8ft ENE swell on Saturday the 5th, but with 22 mph cross-on winds, it’s just a mess. The combined energy is moderate at 720.

Sunday the 6th is pretty much the same story, with the wind staying strong. The swell even bumps up to 12ft on the afternoon with a 10-second period, but the cross-on breeze just ruins it. The wave energy is very strong (2244), but it’s not for paddling, maybe a kite crew would be interested.

Now, Monday morning the 7th brings a change. The wind drops to a gentle 9 mph cross-shore, and we’ve got a 8ft NE swell (10 seconds). The comment says it’s marginal with questionable tide, but it’s a step up. The energy is very strong (2202). The afternoon turns back to choppy, so the early session is the only one with a pulse.

Tuesday the 8th morning is similar, with a 5ft E swell and gentle cross-shore breeze. Still only marginal, but at least the wind is kind. The energy is moderate (546). The afternoon goes onshore again.

Then, on Wednesday the 9th morning, we get a window. The wind is glassy, calm as can be, with a 5ft ESE swell at 8 seconds. The energy is moderate (434). It’s a short-period swell, so it won’t have the power of a groundswell, but for this spot, clean conditions are a major win. The water is a warm 84°, which is about normal for this time of year.

After that, the wind turns back onshore for a few days, and the surf stays small and messy through the 10th to the 15th. The swell directions are all over the place, but the prevailing wind is from the northeast, which is not clean for this break.

The next standout is on Wednesday, September 16th morning. Again, we get glassy conditions with a light NW breeze. The swell is a tiny 3ft ESE, but with no wind, it’ll be clean. The energy is weak (256). It’s a glassy morning, so for a log or a groveler, it could be fun.

Thursday the 17th morning is also totally calm, with a 3ft E swell and a 12-second period. The energy is weak (191). The comment says “surfable but very ordinary,” but with glass, it’s better than what we’ve been dealing with.

The rest of the run into the 20th is small, with weak energy readings dropping into the double digits. The wind is light and variable, but the swell is just too small. We’re talking 2ft E swell with 64 of combined energy on the 19th afternoon.

So, the highlight? It’s a toss-up between the clean windows on the 9th and the 16th. The 9th has the biggest swell at 5ft and glassy conditions. That’s your best bet. The 16th is smaller, but if you’re desperate for a clean, tiny wave, it’s there.

Rusty.
