The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks. It’s a flat spell for the main spot. The whole 16-day run looks like a long stretch of bad surf, so prepare for a big gap of nothing.
Right from now, it’s tiny and junky. Sunday the 9th has a weak 2 ft ESE windswell with a short 5-second period. The wind is either on it or cross-onshore all weekend. By Monday the 10th to Wednesday the 12th, the swell gets a bit bigger—up to 1 ft on Monday and 4 ft by Wednesday—but the period stays short and the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore. The wave energy stays weak until Thursday morning the 13th, when it gets moderate, but it’s still lumpy with a 30 km/h cross-onshore breeze. That pattern of poor surf continues day after day right up to the 24th.
The one moment worth mentioning is Monday morning the 17th. We’ve got a small 3 ft SE swell with a 6-second period, but the wind goes glassy. A 5 km/h light breeze from the SSW will give you the cleanest possible surface. The wave energy is still weak. For a pier break, that’s your best shot at something smooth, but you’ll be fighting the small size and lack of push. If you’ve got a longboard, it’s your only option. Other than that, don’t bother.
Rusty.
