The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm lookin' at the forecast for the next couple of weeks for our local spot. Gotta be straight with you, it’s gonna be a long wait. We’re looking at a long, dry spell before anything even thinks about waking up.
The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show until Monday the 17th, with a tiny 3ft SSE swell showing up in the afternoon. It’s weak, reading a combined energy of just (68), and the period is a short 6 seconds, so it will be weak and crumbly. The wind goes glassy though, which is about the only thing going for it. It’s surfable but ordinary, definitely not worth paddling out for if you’re short on time.
From there, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The rest of that week and the next are just filled with tiny, messy, or onshore conditions. Day after day of 1ft junk. It’s the kind of stretch where you just leave the board in the car and hope for a miracle.
Now, there’s a whisper of something interesting way out on the horizon. Late in the second week, around Wednesday the 26th of August, we see a pulse of energy come through. The swell height is still only 2ft, but the period jumps to 15–16 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. The combined energy jumps way up to (151) on the Wednesday morning, which is moderate. The wind is reading as a clean cross-offshore. This is the one to keep an eye on. With that long period and clean wind, it might actually produce a few lined-up waves, even if it’s small. It’s a long way off, so don't book the day off work just yet, but it’s promising.
For the most part, this is a waiting game. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle for most of this period.
Stay patient.
