Inner Kom Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

The next couple of days are a bit of a write-off, honestly. We've got some decent sized swell on the way eventually, but it's not going to be the whole story. The main event is a monster pulse that rolls in around September 3rd, but there's plenty of waiting to get through first.

Things start off pretty ordinary. Tuesday the 25th is a no-go. You've got a 8ft SW swell but it's getting torn apart by a stiff 22 mph SE cross-off wind. The water is 58°, which is 2° colder than normal for this time of year, so you're gonna feel that chill. The wave energy is strong (2549), but it's just messy.

Wednesday the 26th is where it starts to look a bit better. The swell drops to a cleaner 5ft from the WSW, but the key is a nice 16 mph ESE offshore wind in the morning, dropping to a glassy 9 mph in the afternoon. This is clean surf with moderate energy (1157), perfect for a beginner-friendly spot like Inner-Kom.

We hit a bit of a lull from the 27th through the 1st of September. There's swell, and some of it is decent sized, but the wind is constantly shifting and crossing it up. The 29th of August afternoon has a fun-looking 6ft WSW swell with a 14-second period and light S cross-off wind, but the wave quality just isn't there for a consistent session. It's frustrating because the energy is there (1492), but it's not quite clicking.

Now, here's the standout. Inner-Kom on the 3rd of September. This is the one for the big-wave crew. Thursday morning is pumping a 16ft SSW swell with a strong 28 mph ESE offshore wind. That's a solid 8744 on the energy scale. This is expert-only territory. The afternoon drops to a 19 mph offshore, still a massive 16ft. If you've got the skills and the quiver, this is your window. It's a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but the potential is huge.

Before that, the 1st of September afternoon gets a notable bump with an 12ft SW swell and light onshore wind, but the wind state is messy. The 2nd of September is a big, windy mess, peaking at 13ft with a 25 mph cross-off, which might honestly be more fun on a kite.

After the big stuff, the 6th of September looks like a beautiful cleanup session. A solid 6ft SW swell with a 15-second period, backed up by a 12 mph ESE offshore. This is the pick for anyone who missed the big day. Moderate energy (1313), clean, and much more manageable. The light offshore wind should keep it glassy.

The rest of the second week trashes out pretty quick. The 8th and 9th of September are poor to marginal with weak energy and fresh cross-off winds.

So, to wrap up: get out there on the 26th for a small, clean beginner session. Circle the 3rd of September on your calendar for the big swell, and don't sleep on the 6th of September for a proper fun session after the storm passes.

Rusty.
