The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about the same stretch, but in feet and miles per hour.

So, for Hikkaduwa (A-Frame), the water’s sittin’ right about average for the year, about 83°F. Not much to complain about there.

First real chance to surf comes Saturday afternoon, the 29th of August. We’ve got a 4-foot SSW swell, 13-second period, moderate energy (901). But that W wind blowin’ 12 mph cross-on chops it all up. Risk of thunderstorms don’t help.

Sunday the 30th the swell pushes up to 5 feet by the afternoon, 18-second period, energy jumps to 2008. That’s some serious groundswell potential. But again, W wind, 12 mph, cross-on, turning the surface into a washboard.

Monday the 31st sees the swell max out near 8 feet (2.4m), energy skyrockets to 3473. That’s a lot of water. But the wind stays cross-on out of the W or WNW at 15-16 mph. It’s big, it’s powerful, and it’s blown out.

Wednesday the 2nd of September is the only day that scrapes a “marginal” rating. Swell at 6 feet (1.7m), 15-second period, energy 1349. Still cross-on wind.

The whole run from the 29th of August right through to the 13th of September has the same problem: the wind is locked in from the west, cross-on or onshore, just killing the quality of a seriously solid swell window. Most of those days have waves over 5 feet, and some over 8 feet, so it’s advanced territory only, and even then, it’s a fight, not a session.

By the second week, the swell drops to 3 to 4 feet by the 5th of September, period shortens to 10 seconds, energy sinks under 500. Same old west wind story. No standouts. No clean glassy windows.

If you’re desperate, maybe Wednesday the 2nd gives you a session worth paddling out for. But honestly, with this much cross-on wind and a setup that’s more beach-reef, it’s probably a better kiteboarding window than a surf one.

I wouldn’t hold my breath, but things change. Hang loose.

Rusty.
