The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a hard, honest look at what's on the table.
Gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a proper write-off for JP Luby Pier. We’re staring down a long, flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for. The whole window is a bust for surf, with every single session marked as poor conditions. The combined swell energy is weak, reading values between 17 and 102 (that's in brackets, for the numbers folks), and that’s the story right through to the end of August. The good news? It won't stay like this forever, and forecasts can change, but right now, there's zilch.
Let’s walk through it. Starting Monday the 10th of August, we’ve got a tiny 2ft SE swell, but with a short 5-second period and a moderate onshore breeze from the SE, it’s messy and lifeless. Into Tuesday and Wednesday, the swell bumps up a fraction – 3ft to 3ft – but the wind shifts to a moderate cross-onshore, keeping it choppy and unappealing. It’s the same story Thursday the 13th: a little more energy (102 combined energy), but still 4ft to 4ft of junk with a fresh cross-onshore wind, making it lumpy. That’s not surf, that’s a washing machine.
Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th offer more of the same – 3ft to 4ft of short-period SE slop, cross-onshore winds, and even a risk of thunderstorms. Not exactly pumping. The morning of Sunday the 17th teases a brief moment of glassy conditions with a light SSW breeze, but with only 2ft of short-period swell, there’s just no push. For the rest of the run, we’re looking at tiny waves below 3ft, constant cross-onshore winds, and energy readings staying in the weak zone.
For a spot like JP Luby Pier (considered a beach/pier setup), with that constant onshore and cross-onshore wind, honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone on a paddle board. Don’t bother with the wetsuit. Save the stoke for another week.
Rusty.
