The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for this spot ain't a pretty picture. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but honestly, I'm struggling to find anything to get excited about. The swell is there, but the wind is just not playing ball.
Kicking off on Thursday, August 6th, we've got a 8ft swell from the NE, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 827, but the wind is a fresh 35 km/h cross-shore from the NNE. It's an absolute mess – lumpy cross-chop, poor surf conditions. This theme is gonna stick around for a long time. All through the first week and into the next, we're looking at the same story: swell heights bouncing between 5ft and 7ft, mostly from the NNE, with periods between 7 and 8 seconds. The wind, however, stubbornly stays a fresh 30-40 km/h cross-shore, chopping up the ocean into a nasty, lumpy bump. It's just not surfable.
There's a bit of a shift around August 16th, where the wind drops to a moderate 20-25 km/h, but it swings cross-onshore, so it's still choppy and messy. The swell holds around 7ft.
Heading into August 20th, the swell drops a bit, down to 4ft, but the period starts to stretch out to 9-10 seconds, with the combined energy around 317-383. That's a slightly better quality swell, but the wind is still a moderate cross-shore, keeping it bumpy. The water temp is about average for the time of year here.
Honestly, with all this wind, this break is a write-off for a paddle. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a traditional surfer given the strong, consistent cross-shore breeze and the lumpy conditions. There just isn't a single standout day in this whole forecast.
Rusty.
