The Lowdown

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – we’re lookin’ at a pretty lean run along our stretch here. The swell window’s just not openin’ up for a long while, so temper them expectations.

For the foreseeable future, from the 29th of August right through the first week of September and beyond, we’re starin’ down a long stretch of gutless, undersized surf. Wave heights are stuck at a paltry 0.7 ft to 2 ft, coming in from the ESE or SE, with a short, weak period mostly between 4 and 9 seconds – that’s windswill, not groundswell. The combined energy barely registers, floatin’ between 7 and 32 (weak energy). On top of that, the wind’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keepin’ things choppy and messy. You’d need a lot of imagination and a longboard to get any kind of slide.

Even as we creep into the second week – the 10th and 11th of September – the swell bumps up to a measly 3 ft to 4 ft (SSE/SE, 5-6 seconds), but it’s still accompanied by onshore or cross-onshore winds. The wave energy does climb into moderate territory, reachin’ 111 (moderate wave energy) on the 11th, but the poor surf conditions tag is relentless. Honestly, this setup looks more promising for a kite surfer tryin’ to get some air than a paddle surfer lookin’ for a wave.

There’s not a single standout across the entire 16-day window. Nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for. It’s a total flat spell for Horace Caldwell Pier (beach/pier). The water temp is sittin’ at a balmy 86°F with an anomaly of 2°F, so that’s about normal for this time of year – warm as bath water, but regrettably flat as a pancake.

Hang tight, folks. This kind of blank run happens around here, and forecasts can always flip. But today? It’s a hard no. Stay dry.
