The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's get into it. This is Rusty, and I'm looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead for us here. We've got a bit of a wait before anything decent shows up, so let's be patient.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday, September 5th. The morning is looking like the best bet by a long shot. We've got a nice clean 4 ft swell rolling in from the west, and with a long period of 12 seconds, it's proper groundswell. The wind is a light offshore from the east, just 3 mph, so the surface will be glassy. The combined energy is moderate at 437. This is the standout session on offer, but keep in mind that long period groundswell can sometimes make beach breaks a bit straight, so it might be better down the points or reefs. The water temp is about 66° which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The afternoon of Saturday the 5th is a bit of a letdown after that morning. The swell drops a touch to 4 ft, and the wind swings to a light cross-on from the SSW, putting some small ripples on the face. It's still surfable, but the magic is gone.
We then hit a long dry spell. From Sunday the 6th all the way through to Thursday the 17th of September, it's a real struggle. The wind is consistently onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave energy is either weak or just not coming together with the right conditions. There are a few mornings with light offshore winds, like on the 12th, 14th, 15th, and 16th, but the swell is tiny—around 2 ft to 3 ft. You *could* get out on a longboard, but it's nothing to write home about. The combined energy is often in the double digits, which is weak.
The entire second week is a no-go. The wind is just too strong and onshore, with a fresh breeze picking up on the 17th and 18th, making it lumpy and choppy. If you're a kite surfer, the setup on those days with the strong cross-onshore wind and 2 ft to 6 ft messy swell might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it's a hard pass. The forecast can always change, so don't lose hope entirely, but as it stands, this is a classic quiet spell for the area.
Rusty.
