The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the Hikkaduwa lowdown.
Gotta level with you, mate. This is a bleak run for Hikkaduwa (A-Frame). We are looking at a solid two-week stretch with nothing but messy onshore conditions. The first proper recommendation doesn’t pop up until the very last day. That’s a long, quiet spell.
Water temp is around 83°F, about what you’d expect for this time of year.
From the 1st of September all the way to the 15th, it’s pretty much a bust. The wind is howling from the West, blowing onshore nearly every day, and there’s a constant risk of thunderstorms. There’s swell running, but it’s just junk. The combined swell energy sits between moderate and strong (391 to 3649), but it’s all wind-chop and poor quality. Not worth paddling out for.
Into the second week, the wind stays fresh from the West. The swell bumps up around the 12th with 7ft waves, but it’s cross-onshore and lumpy. That’s a recipe for a rough session.
The only real glimmer of hope is on the 16th. Wednesday morning comes in with 8ft of SSW groundswell, with a very long period of 19 seconds. The wind is still onshore from the West at 12 mph, but the energy is massive (5202). The afternoon has it even bigger with 10ft of SSW swell (5464). That’s big, powerful water – strictly for experts. The waves will be heavy and the surface won't be smooth, but if you’re a charger, that’s your day.
So the one and only standout is September 16th. Swell is solid (8ft to 10ft from the SSW), with a very long period, and the energy is extremely strong (5202 - 5464). For experienced surfers only.
Rusty.
