The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again, but in feet and miles.
This is a lean spell for L’Hermitage Left. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions, starting from Thursday the 10th of September. There’s a big gap at the start with next to no rideable surf.
For most of the first week, the swell is tiny – maybe 1 to 2 feet at best – with weak energy readings in the 20s and 30s. The period is short, often under 8 seconds, so no power. The wind is often glassy, but it doesn't matter when there’s no wave to ride. The afternoon of Saturday the 19th of September is the one bright spot. Swell nudges up to about 2 feet from the northeast, with a 10-second period – that gives it a bit more push. The combined energy hits 64, still weak, but it’s the biggest number here. Wind is glassy from the NNW, so the surface will be clean. It says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions", which is about right. If you’re on a longboard and you’ve got the patience, that Saturday afternoon is your window. But remember, this reef spot is inconsistent and can be fickle.
After that, it’s back to small, poor-quality dribble and flatness. The 21st shows a 2-foot wave from the north with a 4-second period – that’s junky windswell. Not worth the paddle.
There’s nothing for beginners here – the rare wave is too small to be a problem, but the quality is so poor it’s not fun for anyone. For a kite, the windier, choppy days later in the month might be more interesting.
Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for LHermitage Left may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
