The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let me level with you – these next 16 days are a total bust for surf. No good options anywhere in the window, so I’ll just break down what we’ve got so you know the story.
We start on Monday morning, 24 August, at Horace Caldwell Pier. Water temp is about normal for the season. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the south, period just 4 seconds – that’s junk windswell. Wind is a cross-onshore 9 mph from the SSW, making it choppy. Combined swell energy is a measly 17. Tuesday morning, 25 August, is 2 ft from the south, period 5 seconds, cross-onshore again. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday – all the same: tiny 2 ft or so waves, short period, constant onshore breeze. Saturday morning, 29 August, is 2 ft from the southeast, period 5 seconds, cross-onshore 9 mph. It’s all “poor surf conditions” every session.
Going into the end of August and start of September, nothing changes. The swell never tops 3 ft, periods hang around 5 seconds, and winds are either cross-onshore or onshore. On Wednesday morning, 2 September, we get a moment of glass with wind at 3 mph from the south, but the swell is still just 2 ft from the southeast, period 5 seconds, energy only 24. Even clean, that’s barely a bump.
Into the second week, the swell tries to build but it’s a mess. Sunday afternoon, 6 September, we get 4 ft from the southeast, period 5 seconds, energy 58, but wind is a fresh onshore 19 mph. Monday morning, 7 September, sees the biggest roller: 4 ft from the southeast, period 6 seconds, energy jumping to 132 – moderate energy – but again, wind is 19 mph cross-onshore and lumpy. That setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Too blown out for any kind of decent wave.
So there it is – no standouts, no good sessions, just a long, flat, choppy run. For this area, a blank spell like this happens. Conditions can change, but right now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
