The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the table. Gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. We’ve got a blank run stretching from now all the way through to around Wednesday the 24th of September. That’s a long gap of tiny, wind-affected slop with zero recommendation for a paddle. The water temp is sittin' about 86.5°F with a positive anomaly of 2.9°F, so a touch warmer than normal for this time of year around here.
We finally get a whisper of life on Thursday the 25th of September, at Horace Caldwell Pier. For a true standout, you gotta look at the window on that Thursday morning, the 25th. We’re talking clean conditions with a glassy surface thanks to a light ESE breeze. The swell is tiny, just 2.3ft from the east with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined wave energy is a weak 32. It’s not a pulse that’ll have you scrambling for your board, but after that long drought, it’s the one moment that offers a clean, ridable bump. This is a beginner-friendly spot, fairly exposed to the SE, and with that glassy morning, it’s about the only time it looks enjoyable. The rest of the window on the 25th gets blown out by onshore winds.
Look, it’s a lean period. The morning of the 25th is the only true highlight, and even then, it’s a small one. Don't expect much else.
