Juno Pier Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, checking in on the local surf scene. Gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch ahead. The surf forecast for the next 16 days is looking pretty darn flat, so we're in for a long wait.

Right now, there's nothing on the table. The whole 16-day window is a washout with zero good surf options. The first day we see any kind of wave is Tuesday morning, September 1st, but it's a meager 1ft from the ENE with a weak 5-second period and a combined swell energy of just 17. That's barely a ripple. The water temp is sitting around 86°, which is about normal for this time of year, but it doesn't matter much when there's nothing to ride.

We're looking at a solid gap of days with no recommendations. Every single time slot in the Finder has "poor surf conditions" and a score of zero out of ten. The wind is all over the place – mostly onshore or cross-onshore – and the swell is tiny. A few mornings, like the 1st and the 8th, go glassy, but with waves that are 0.7ft to 1ft, it's just not doing anything. The period rarely gets above 8 seconds, so there's no push or shape.

The best we can say is that Juno Pier, our only break, is a beach/pier setup that's fairly consistent, but even consistency can't make something out of nothing. The swell direction is all over the shop too, never matching the preferred NE.

The only slight glimmer is around Thursday, September 10th, where the morning shows a 2ft swell from the NE with a period of 10 seconds and a combined energy of 63 (still weak). But even then, the wind is a light cross-onshore from the SSE, so it's not clean. It's a long way off, and frankly, it's not worth getting excited about.

Forget the paddle board for now. If you're into kite surfing, this flat spell and the constant onshore winds might be your thing, but for us surfers, it's a waiting game. The area just tends to go through these blank runs, so don't lose hope – forecasts can change. But for now, there's nothing to ride.

Rusty.
