The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and knots. Let's break down what's on offer for this stretch. We're only looking at Kiddies Corner, and it's a real mixed bag.
The forecast kicks off on Monday, September 7th, with a nice start. The morning is serving up a clean 5ft swell from the SSE, with glassy conditions and a light offshore breeze. The water is 65°F, which is about average for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (261). This is a perfect window for a beginner session, nice and clean. The afternoon turns onshore and choppy, so don't waste your time.
We hit a rough patch after that. Tuesday and Wednesday see the swell building, but the wind is all over the place, making it messy. By Thursday, the 10th, the swell is pushing 8ft to 10ft from the SSE, and the energy is really cranking (1298 to 1719), but it's just too big for Kiddies Corner. That's expert-only, and with the cross-shores, it's not going to be pretty.
Friday morning, the 11th, is a standout for the experienced crew. The swell is still a solid 8ft from the SSE, with a 9-second period, and the wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. The energy is pumping (1050). This is the best of the first week if you're comfortable in overhead surf. The afternoon, however, turns to junk with onshore winds.
There's a quiet spell from the 13th through to the 21st. The swell drops right off, and the wind is mostly poor. There are a few mornings with clean conditions, but the waves are tiny, under 3ft. You'll be chasing ankle-biters. It's a long stretch of flatness, so don't get your hopes up.
Now, the real standout is shaping up for Tuesday, the 22nd of September. The morning is looking prime: 8ft of S swell, a short 8-second period, but the wind is glassy. The energy is strong (649). This is going to be a clean, powerful wall of water. It's a bit too big for beginners, but for the average surfer, it's going to be a ripper session. The afternoon gets too big and onshore again, so get in early.
If you're an expert, Friday the 11th morning is your call. For everyone else, Tuesday the 22nd morning is the one to mark on the calendar. It's a long way out, so the forecast could change, but right now, that's the best bet.
