The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for the imperial crew.
The first few days are a bit of a washout. From Friday the 7th through to Monday the 10th, the swell is tiny and the conditions are mostly messy. You’ll see a few surfable waves but nothing to write home about. The real energy starts to build from the middle of the week.
The standout window is shaping up around Thursday the 13th and especially Friday the 14th at Kiddies Corner. We’ve got a solid pulse of S swell coming through. On Thursday afternoon, the swell jumps to 8ft from the S with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 1549 (strong to very strong wave energy). That’s a lot of power. This is getting into the bigger range, so it’s really only for the experienced crew. The wind is clean and cross-offshore, which is a good sign for shape.
But the pick of the whole stretch is Friday morning, the 14th. The swell is a meaty 6ft from the S, period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy is still a hefty 830 (moderate to strong). The wind is offshore from the WSW at 9 mph, and the conditions are looking clean. That’s a genuinely good session in the making. Keep in mind the water temperature is about 64°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so a wetsuit is the go.
After that, the surf settles back down. Saturday the 15th has some knee-to-waist high waves with clean morning conditions, but it’s nothing like the Friday. Through the rest of the second week, the swell fades and the wind turns onshore more often, so don’t hold your breath. The end of the week around the 21st and 22nd offers some tiny, glassy little waves in the morning, but they’re small and inconsistent.
So, to sum it up: the first few days are a bust, then we get a nice spike mid-week. The real gem is Friday morning, August 14th. If you can get out then, do it. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game after that.
Rusty.
