The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this stretch isn't looking good. The forecast for Horace Caldwell Pier is a flat spell with messy conditions. We're looking at a solid 16 days with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, periods are real short, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore the whole time, chopping everything up. It's a tough run.
The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only interesting thing happening.
The little bumps we do get – like around 2ft to 5ft from the SSE and SE – are all wind-affected and weak. The combined wave energy barely cracks 100 (hitting 110 on the 14th of September, Monday morning), but even then it's messy. The period is only 4 to 7 seconds, so it's all windswell, no real push. Thursday the 17th of September morning might see a little cross-off breeze from the north for a moment, but the swell is already dropping back to 3ft, and it's still weak.
Honestly, this setup looks more like a kite surfer's day than a paddle surfer's. There's just no quality. When the swell tries to show a little life around the 15th and 16th of September with 4ft to 5ft, the wind is on it, ruining any chance of a clean wave. The whole period is a washout, so don't hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a long wait.
Rusty.
