The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with a look at what's on the cards for the near future.
First off, for a solid week from now, we’ve got a real quiet spell. Nothing worth paddling out for. From Wednesday the 21st right through to the morning of Thursday the 27th, it’s just flat to tiny. A few of those days have a bit of a groundswell pulse, but we’re talking 0.7 ft, 1 ft of weak energy (combined swell energy between 62-157) with onshore or cross-onshore winds – not worth a second look.
That all changes around Thursday the 27th in the afternoon and going into Friday the 28th. Now *that* is when things get interesting. The standout window is Friday the 28th, and the pick of the bunch is KM-200 - Totoritas, a point break. It's showing a solid 4 ft to 5 ft of swell from the WSW. What makes this special is the period – a very long 16 to 17 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, with a lot of energy behind it. Combined swell energy hits 1069, which is strong. We’ve got light 10 km/h winds from the west, but it’s going to be cross-onshore in the morning, so the face won't be perfect. It’s listed as fairly consistent and it’s exposed to the SW, which is bang on the optimum direction. This swell is solid, right on the edge of being too much for beginners at 5 ft. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
Saturday the 29th is still good but has dropped a notch. We’re looking at similar sized swell, 5 ft to 5 ft from the WSW, but with a period more around 14 seconds. The energy is still strong at 982. That south-angled point break will be holding it together, but with those lighter cross-onshore 10 km/h winds from the west in the morning, it’s not quite as pristine as the day before. This is still more of an intermediate-to-experienced setup now that the size is pushing 5 ft.
Into the second week, after a bit of a drop on Sunday the 30th (4 ft to 4 ft), we are back down to marginal surf around the start of September. Tuesday the 3rd sees a small pulse from the WSW again, with a 3 ft swell and a 17-second period, light offshore wind – that’s a long way out, so promising but far from certain.
So, to wrap it up: grit your teeth through the next few dead days. The real gold is later on, with Friday the 28th being your best bet at KM-200 - Totoritas - a solid, strong groundswell with decent winds.
Rusty.
