The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me level with you – if you’re thinking of paddling out around here for the next couple of weeks, you’re up against some real junk conditions. The only spot we have is Horace Caldwell Pier, and this run of forecasts is flat and ugly from start to finish.
We start on Monday, the 24th of August, with a tiny 1 ft swell out of the SSE. The combined energy is a measly 11, so it might as well be a swimming pool. Water temp is 86°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual – feels nice for a dip, but worthless for surfing. The wind is light but cross, so it’s not even clean. This poor surf setup sticks around for days.
Tuesday the 25th, we get a little bump to 2 ft, still SSE, but the wind turns cross-onshore and it gets choppy. Energy stays low around 25. Day after day, it’s the same story: tiny swell between 1 ft and 2 ft, short period around 4 to 5 seconds, and winds that are either onshore or cross-onshore. There’s a brief moment on Saturday the 29th morning where the wind goes glassy – dead calm – but the swell is still a sad 2 ft with a 4-second period. It’s not rideable.
Even as we head into September and the first week of next month, nothing changes. Swell barely hits 3 ft by Monday the 7th of September, but energy only reaches 41, and winds are moderate cross-onshore or onshore. The period is still short. This is a beach and pier setup, so with those onshore winds and tiny, weak waves, it looks way better for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There isn’t a single standout day in this whole 16-day stretch.
For a spot that’s fairly consistent, it’s a real downer. But sometimes the area just goes through these flat spells – it’s not unusual. Clean surf is nowhere to be found.
Rusty.
