The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a real heartbreaker. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The forecast shows a gap of pure flatness stretching from this Saturday morning, August 29th, all the way through to the end of the window. There’s simply no surf on offer.
We’ve got one spot on the radar, Horace Caldwell Pier, and it’s a beginner-friendly beach and pier setup. The water temp is sitting right around 86°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but you won’t be feeling it because you’ll be sitting on the sand.
The whole 16-day period is a write-off. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, with heights from just 0.7ft to 3ft and a weak combined energy that never breaks triple digits. It’s a mixture of straight onshore, cross-onshore, and choppy winds, with the occasional glassy moment that’s all show and no go. Even on Saturday morning, September 12th, we get a glassy start with a light W wind, but the swell is only 2ft with a 5-second period. It’s a classic case of the conditions looking clean but the ocean having no push behind it.
This area is prone to these blank runs, so it’s not a total shock. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this poor for long, but for now, save your wax and maybe take up fishing.
Rusty.
