The Lowdown
Alright, let me be real with ya. The next couple of weeks? Not much happening. This is a proper quiet period. From now through mid-September, the surf is just not there.
JP Luby Pier is the only spot on the list. It's a beach/pier break, and it's fairly consistent for the area, but the quality is poor. The swell is tiny—maybe 1ft to 2ft—coming from the SSE and SE, with a real short period of just 4 to 6 seconds. That's weak windswell, no grunt. The combined energy is between 12 and 89, which is weak.
The wind is the problem. Most days it's cross-on or onshore, blowing from the S, SSE, or SE at 10 to 22 mph. A couple of mornings might have a light cross-shore, but it's still not clean. Water temp is about 85°, which is normal for this time of year.
There's a slight bump around Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th of September, with swell hitting about 3ft from the SE, but the period's still short at 5 to 6 seconds, and the wind is a fresh cross-on, making it lumpy and choppy.
No standout days here. Nothing to get stoked about. If you're itching for a session, you might get a tiny, weak wave, but it's not worth the effort.
With that wind and small, choppy surf, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddling.
A dry spell like this happens around here. It won't stay flat forever, but this stretch is a bust.
Rusty.

Information about the JP Luby Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for JP Luby Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at JP Luby Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our JP Luby Pier surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (JP Luby Pier) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for JP Luby Pier may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
