The Lowdown
Alright, folks, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for our stretch of coast. The first few days? Total loss. We’ve got small, weak, onshore mush that’s just not worth the effort of waxing up. The water temperature is about 66°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The first real reason to get excited is the morning of Saturday, September 5th. The wind swings clean offshore out of the ENE, and a 4ft west swell rolls in with some proper grit (392). The break is very consistent, and with that offshore wind, it’s going to be glassy. That’s the pick of the fortnight, no question. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, so the size is just right for a fun sesh. Just know it’s a morning-only window, as the wind turns onshore later.
The following week is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning of the 10th brings a bigger pulse of 7ft from the WSW, but it’s a short-period, bumpy wave. The cross-offshore wind will keep it clean, but it’s a raw, powerful beast only for the experts.
The morning of the 12th is a good one. A light easterly cross-offshore breeze, with a 5ft west swell with a nice 11-second period. The energy is strong (483), and it’ll be clean. That’s a solid intermediate wave.
Then, on the morning of the 14th, the wind goes dead calm. Glassy as a lake. A 4ft west swell, moderate energy (306), but that surface will be perfect. It’s a gentle, clean session for anyone.
Looking further out, the morning of the 15th the models are talking about a beast. A 5ft west swell with a very long 15-second period, pushing a massive 1278 of energy. That’s a deep ocean groundswell. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it’ll have a bit of texture. For a spot like this, a long period west swell can be a bit straight, but keep an eye on it. The energy is huge. And the morning of the 17th shows a massive 8ft west swell with a clean cross-offshore wind. That’s expert-only, gnarly territory.
So, to sum it up: skip the first few days. The clear winner is the morning of the 5th of September, with the offshore wind and clean 4ft waves. The 12th and the 14th are also cracking calls for clean, fun waves. The big stuff on the 15th and 17th is for the brave and the skilled.
Rusty.
