The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks at Kiddies Corner.
To be straight with you, the opening days are a bit of a mixed bag, and for a good chunk of the first week, you’ll be scratching your head. We’ve got a gap from Saturday afternoon all the way through to Monday morning where the surf is either tiny or just ordinary. You’ll want to pick your moments. The real standout window is shaping up for Wednesday, September 16th, and it’s a big one.
First up, Saturday morning, September 12th, gets things going with clean 4ft swell from the SSE. Period’s a touch short at 9 seconds, but the wind is glassy at 3 mph from the NNE. Combined energy is moderate (357). It’s a solid, friendly start for beginners, with clean conditions making it a nice little session before the wind picks up. The water temperature feels about average for this time of year.
Now, the real talk is Wednesday, September 16th. The swell is way up, hitting 10ft to 12ft from the south, with combined energy shooting into the strong zone (1297 in the morning, 2756 in the afternoon). That’s too big for beginners. The wind is a clean cross-off from the SSW at 22 mph, making for a raw, powerful look. This is expert territory only.
Thursday, September 17th, keeps the big south swell going – 12ft in the morning with moderate wind (12 mph) and combined energy of 3883, which is very strong. It’s still clean, but same story: only for experienced surfers.
After that, surf drops off hard through Friday, September 18th, and into the following weekend. There’s a sneaky glassy window on Saturday morning, September 19th, with 3ft from the ESE and 3 mph NW wind, but it’s small and short-lived.
For the second week, look at Tuesday morning, September 22nd – small, but the swell is just 2ft from the south, with light winds. Nothing to write home about. Friday, September 25th, shows a bit more size at 5ft from the south, but the wind is cross-shore with some chop, so it’s only marginal.
The big Wednesday/Thursday window is the main event: big, clean, expert-only south swell. If you’re not in that league, the rest of the forecast is a quiet run of small waves and tricky winds.
