The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's heading our way over the next 16 days. Gotta be honest, it's a slow start and there's a big gap of nothing good.
The first real chance of a wave comes on Tuesday, September 15th. Before that, from Wednesday the 2nd through Monday the 14th, it's a total write-off. The surf is tiny, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and it's just choppy and poor. That's a solid week and a half with no recommendations.
On Tuesday the 15th, we finally get a little something. The morning at Horace Caldwell Pier is the only time it's even worth a look. We're talking a small 4 ft swell from the SE, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak, coming in at 80. The big plus is the wind is glassy, so it'll be clean as a whistle. But the waves themselves are just small and ordinary. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The rest of the forecast is more of the same: small, weak, onshore slop. The swell tries to pick up a bit on the 12th and 13th, getting over 4 ft, but the wind is straight onshore, making it a blown-out mess. The energy climbs to a moderate 140 on the 13th, but with that wind, it's useless for a paddle. For a beginner spot like Horace Caldwell Pier, waves over 5 ft get too big, but we never even reach that. Honestly, the only standout is that one glassy morning on the 15th, and even then, it's a weak wave. A quiet stretch for this area.
Keep your head up, forecasts can change.
Rusty.
