The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. We’ve got a long run of days with tiny, weak surf and poor conditions. I’m talking about a solid week where there’s really nothing to get excited about. The first real recommendation doesn’t pop up until Saturday morning, the 5th of September, and even then it’s a small one.
The best of the bunch, and the only real standout, is shaping up to be Saturday morning, the 5th of September at Hanna Park/Mayport Poles. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell coming out of the ESE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (56). The real draw here is the wind. It’s glassy, dead calm, with a light offshore breeze from the SW. That will make for clean, smooth conditions. The water is a warm 82°, which is about average for this time of year. It’s going to be small, but it’ll be the cleanest surf of the whole outlook. Expect crowds to be possible at this spot.
The only other flicker of something bigger comes way out on Tuesday, the 15th of September, with some afternoon windswell from the ENE showing 5ft. But the period is a short 6 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore, making for messy, poor conditions. It’s not worth chasing.
And then on Wednesday, the 16th of September, there’s a morning pulse of 5ft from the ENE with a 6-second period (220 combined energy). It’s a bit bigger, but the wind is light cross-onshore and it’s still short-period, wind-driven stuff. The report calls it “marginal.” It’s one for the experts only if they’re desperate, but honestly, it doesn’t look fun.
Overall, it’s a tough run. The first week is a total write-off for anything worthwhile. There’s a long gap from the start until that Saturday morning glass-off. The second week offers a bit more size, but the quality is poor, and the winds are against us. For the most part, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts; things can change.
Rusty.
