The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the surf outlook for the next couple of weeks is looking pretty flat out there. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing happening, so if you’re keen for a paddle, you might want to find other things to do for a while.
The first real glimpse of anything surfable shows up Thursday morning, the 6th. We’ve got a small 3ft swell coming from the south with a short 6-second period. The energy is weak, only at 59, so it’s not going to be doing much. The wind is a cross-offshore breeze at 9 mph, which should keep the surface clean, but honestly, it's just ankle-biters. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary out there. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is about average for this time of year, so that’s not adding any excitement.
After that Thursday morning tease, the surf basically dies again. From Thursday afternoon all the way through to the 20th, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The swell heights are mostly under 2ft, and the energy readings are pitiful, mostly single digits and low double digits. The wind is mostly cross-off or light, but with no swell, it doesn't matter. It's a long, flat spell that will test your patience.
Finally, on Friday the 21st, we see a little pulse of energy. It’s still small, with the swell around 3ft in the morning, but it’s a bit more organized. The morning has a cross-offshore wind at 9 mph, and the afternoon looks even better with the wind dropping to a glassy 3 mph from the north-northeast. The wave energy picks up to 84, which is still weak, but it’s the best we’ve seen all week. The period is still a short 6 seconds, so it won’t have much push, but it’s the only time you might get a few rideable, if gutless, waves. It’s not a standout by any means, but if you’re desperate, that Friday afternoon session is your only real option in this entire window.
So, there you have it. A long flat spell with one brief, mediocre window at the end. Keep your board waxed, but don't hold your breath. The forecast is as it is, and it ain't pretty.
Rusty.
