The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty grim outlook to start. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing good on offer.
For the next two weeks, you’re looking at a real flat spell. There’s no swell to speak of, and any little bit of energy that shows up is just too weak and short-period to make anything worthwhile. The first real chance of a surf comes right at the very end of the window, on Saturday the 5th of September.
That Saturday morning, we finally see a bit of a change. At Horace Caldwell Pier, we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell coming from ESE, but the wind goes glassy offshore from the WNW. That’s clean. It’s not going to be big, but the energy is just weak (33 combined energy), and the period is short at 5 seconds. It’s a beginner-friendly spot and fairly consistent, but because the swell is so small and weak, it’s really just a chance to get wet on a longboard. No standouts here, just a moment of glass to enjoy.
Everything after that morning goes straight back to onshore junk. The entire run from the 27th of August up to the 11th of September is just poor surf conditions, with zero scores. The swell never gets above 3ft, the period is always short (4-6 seconds), and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. There is absolutely no surf worth paddling for in this 16-day window. It’s a blank run, plain and simple. This area can go quiet like this. Forecasts change, but right now, nothing’s happening.
Rusty.
