The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here for the local wave report. To be honest with you, we’ve got a long, flat stretch ahead for this coast by Horace Caldwell. The surf is tiny and the wind is mostly a problem.
We start Thursday the 27th with a weak, shin-high 1ft swell out of the SSE at only 4 seconds. That’s wind slop, not proper surf, and combined wave energy is just 8. Morning cross-shore and afternoon onshore – not happening. Same deal Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th, though Saturday morning goes glassy calm. With only 1ft on offer, it’s flat out flat.
From Sunday the 30th all the way through the first week of September, it’s onshore winds and tiny waves – 0.7ft to 3ft. Combined energy climbs to 31-36 a few times, but that’s weak energy and the wind is on it. The water temp is about normal for this time of year. Monday the 31st gives us 2ft from the SE at 5 seconds, but it’s bumpy. This pattern drags on for days.
Into the second week, it’s the same story: waves between 2ft and 3ft, period stuck at 5-6 seconds. The only real standout is Friday, September 11th. The wind swings around to a cross-offshore from the NNE at 16 mph, and we get 3ft from the SSE. Combined energy hits 44 – still weak, but at least the wind is clean for once. That’s the best we see, and it’s still pretty sad.
There’s no single day that’s worth getting excited about. This is a proper flat spell. With swell this weak and wind mostly onshore, a kite might get a look in. For a surfer? Leave the board at home for now. Forecasts can change, but right now the run is blank.
Rusty.
