The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for L'Hermitage Left. Don't get your hopes up.
We've got a long stretch of nothing much on the cards. From now, right through the middle of next week, the charts are basically empty. You're looking at a solid week of flat, calm conditions. There's just no energy in the water. The swell will be tiny, if it's even showing up at all, and the wind, while often light or glassy, won't have any waves to work with. It’s a real bummer.
There is a tiny flicker of hope on Saturday the 19th afternoon. We might see a small pulse of swell from the NE, around 2ft, with that 11-second period giving it a bit of shape. The wind is forecast to go glassy, which would make for clean conditions, even if the waves are tiny. The combined swell energy is only 73 (moderate at best), so we're not talking about anything with any punch. It's surfable, but just barely. Don't expect much more than a couple of knee-high runners.
If you're a beginner, these tiny, clean days are honestly your best bet, but even then, the lack of consistent swell is a problem.
The rest of the forecast is just more of the same: poor surf, tiny or no swell, and a lot of waiting. Keep the board in the car, but don't rush to the water. This is one of those blank runs that’s pretty normal for this area.
Rusty.
