The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, I've got to be straight with you – the outlook for Horace Caldwell Pier is looking pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of poor surf conditions ahead. The first recommendation for a surf doesn't actually appear until Monday, August 10th, but it's not a good one. The whole 16-day window is unfortunately filled with poor surf conditions, with no standout days at all.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Starting on Monday morning, August 10th, we see a tiny 3 ft swell coming from the SE with a short period of 5 seconds. The wind is onshore from the SSE at 12 mph, making for poor surf. The combined energy is weak at 29. This is a beach/pier setup, and with an onshore breeze, it's not going to hold any shape. It's a beginner-friendly break, but honestly, there's nothing worth paddling out for.
This pattern just keeps going. Tuesday, August 11th, the swell bumps up to 3 ft, still SE, still 5 seconds, with cross-onshore winds at 12 mph. The combined energy is a bit higher at 40, but the wave comment says it all: "poor surf conditions." The wind creates a moderate cross-onshore chop.
Wednesday, August 12th, the swell hits 4 ft from the SE, but the period is still a short 5 seconds, and the wind strengthens to 16 mph from the S, making it cross-onshore and choppy. Combined energy is 70.
Thursday, August 13th, sees the swell at 4 ft, period only 6 seconds, with onshore winds at 19 mph. The combined energy climbs to 102, which is moderate, but the wind is fresh and onshore, ruining any chance of a clean wave.
The second week offers no relief. From Sunday, August 16th, through to Tuesday, August 25th, we're looking at waves between 2 ft and 4 ft, all with short periods of 4 to 6 seconds, and constant onshore or cross-onshore winds. The combined energy is mostly weak, in the 20s to 70s, with only a couple of moderate readings. The morning of Saturday, August 22nd, has a light cross-onshore breeze with small wind ripples, but the swell is still a weak 3 ft at 5 seconds.
Honestly, for the entire 16 days, there's not a single session that's worth getting excited about. The wind is never offshore, and the swell is small and weak. For a beginner break, this is a total write-off. If you're a kite surfer, the onshore wind and chop might make it interesting, but for paddle surfing, you're better off staying home.
It's a blank run, pure and simple.
Rusty.
