Indicators Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming our way.

Right off the bat, things are looking pretty average for the next week and a half. We're dealing with a sheltered point break that takes a WNW swell, and the swell we're getting is mostly from the SSW and SW, so it's not really lining up. The energy is weak to moderate for most of it, with the combined energy sitting around 242 (moderate) on Monday morning, but dropping to 132 (weak) by Tuesday. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

Monday morning, September 7th, starts with glassy conditions and a clean 2ft SSW swell, but it's a long period of 14 seconds, so you'll get some nice shape but longer waits between sets. It's surfable, but ordinary. By afternoon, the wind swings onshore and the swell drops to 3ft from the NW with a short 7-second period. That's a poor combo.

Tuesday morning, September 8th, is glassy again, but the swell is tiny at 1ft. The period is 18 seconds, which is very long, so it'll be super clean but you'll be scratching for waves. The rest of the week is a bit of a write-off, with onshore winds and small, short-period swell. The energy picks up a bit on Thursday and Friday, but it's all cross-on or onshore wind, making for messy conditions.

The best on offer in this whole 16-day window is going to be Friday morning, September 18th. The forecast is for glassy conditions with a 2ft SSW swell and a 19-second period. The combined energy is 436 (moderate), and it's expected to be good surf. That’s a real standout, a clean, glassy morning with a long period groundswell. It's a point break, so that long period will wrap in nicely and give you some proper waves. It's small, but it'll be clean as a whistle. That's your window.

The other one to keep an eye on is Tuesday morning, September 22nd. Glassy again, 3ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is 518 (moderate). That's also looking like a good session. It's a bit further out, so don't set your watch by it, but it's a promising sign.

The rest of the time is a bit of a battle. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-on, and the swell is too small or too short-period to get excited about. The long period swells we get in the middle of the week are prone to breaking a bit straight at this point break, but the glassy mornings will still offer some fun, if small, waves.

For the first week, it's a waiting game. The second week has a couple of those glassy mornings that could be really special. Keep your fingers crossed for the 18th and the 22nd.

Rusty.
