The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s not sugarcoat it – this 16-day window is a total dud for our stretch of coast. Don’t get your hopes up, because there’s hardly a single session worth paddling out for.
From the get-go, we’re stuck in a messy pattern. The wind is blowing from the south and southwest, turning the surface into a lumpy, cross-onshore chop. The swell is short-period windswell, mostly 5–6 seconds, meaning it’s weak and disorganised. The combined energy is low, mostly in the 50–100 range, barely enough to push a log around. It’s poor surf, plain and simple.
There’s a bump in size on Thursday the 6th, with swell hitting up to 8ft, but the wind is a near-gale onshore, making it a total washing machine. The combined energy jumps to 982 (moderate), but it’s all raw, ugly power. That’s kite territory, not paddle surfing.
The only clean moment comes on Monday morning, the 10th of August. The wind is glassy, and the swell is a tiny 2ft from the WNW. Water temp is about 64°F, which is perfectly normal for the time of year. But the swell is so small and short-period, you’d be lucky to find a knee-high slop.
After that, it’s a long, blank run of poor surf. On Wednesday the 13th, we get a clean cross-offshore wind, but the swell is down to 0.7ft – not even worth the walk. The best you can say is the wind is clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
Look, the coast goes quiet sometimes. This is one of those runs. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a rest week.
Rusty.
