The Lowdown
Righto, let's have a look at what’s on the cards down at Hut Gulley.
The water temp is sittin' around 58°, about what you'd expect for this time of year; nothing weird goin' on there. Now, the big story here is a massive pulse of south-west groundswell due in on Tuesday the 14th. It's a real monster, with 15 ft of swell and a very long period of 15 seconds, packin' a huge amount of energy (11732). This is not a day for messin' about. The wave comment says it's too big for this break, and I'd agree – only absolute experts should even think about it, and honestly, catchin' a wave here might be the least of your worries. That kind of period and size is best left for a deep-water reef or a point, not a rarely breakin' beginner spot like this. The mornin' wind is a cross-off from the WNW at 25 km/h, so it's not even clean. The afternoon gets worse, with a fresh cross-onshore.
We then see the swell drop a bit through Wednesday and Thursday, but it's still substantial, with readings around 6 ft-6 ft and decent period. The wind improves a touch, and we get some clean looks. There's a clear standout, though, in terms of overall quality. Friday the 17th afternoon is the best of the bunch. We've got 5 ft of solid south-west groundswell at a long 17 seconds, with glassy conditions as the wind goes to just 5 km/h from the WSW. The combined energy is a healthy 1555, and the forecast calls for excellent surf for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle. The mornin' of that Friday is also very good with a 5 ft swell and cross-off wind.
After that, the run of decent waves fizzles out fast. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th see the swell drop to about 3 ft or less, with only weak energy. It becomes inconsistent and ordinary. Then there's a proper gap from around Monday the 20th through to Wednesday the 22nd, where the swell is tiny and the energy is very weak (between 129 and 258). The waves are either poor or just ordinary.
We get another spike towards the end of the period. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th see the swell jump back up to around 5 ft-5 ft, but the winds are moderate to fresh, makin' the surf just marginal. Then the wind swings onshore from the SSE from the 25th to the 26th, which makes for poor conditions. Monday the 27th mornin' looks promising again, with a clean 6 ft south-southwest swell and a 12 second period and offshore NNE wind, but after that, it's back to small and sloppy right through to the end of the month.
For the best wave of the forecast period, it's that Friday 17th afternoon, hands down. Get on it.
