The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, switching over to feet and miles. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Kiddies Corner. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this 16-day window is a tough read. There’s a whole lot of flatness and a couple of moments that tease you but don’t deliver.
Right now, we’ve got a big gap of several days with nothing that’s really surfable. The first thing that looks half-decent is on Tuesday morning, September 15th. It’s clean with a light cross-off breeze, but don’t get excited. The swell is tiny, about 2ft from the NE, and the energy is weak. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary.
Then things get crazy. Wednesday morning, September 16th, a big pulse of S swell rolls in, hitting about 10ft with a 10-second period. The energy is massive. The problem? This break is for beginners, and that size is way too big. The wind is clean, which is almost a tease, because you can’t surf it here. That holds through Thursday morning, September 17th, with the swell still around 10ft. It’s a real heartbreaker.
After that, the swell drops off fast. By Friday morning, September 18th, we’re down to about 5ft from the SSE. The wind goes glassy, and there’s a hint of good conditions, but it’s still not a standout. For a beginner spot, it might be okay, but it’s nothing to write home about. From there, the rest of the first week and the entire second week is a slog of tiny, choppy, onshore junk. There’s a clean moment on Monday morning, September 28th, with a small 4ft swell from the E, but again, it’s not a winner. The long-range looks promising until you check the details, and then it’s just more of the same. If you’re a kite surfer, some of those windy, messy days might be fun, but for a paddle surfer, this is a long, quiet period. Forecasts change, but right now, it’s grim.
