The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – L’Hermitage Left ain't giving us much to work with right now. This reef is inconsistent at the best of times, and the next couple of weeks are looking lean. We’ve got a run of poor to flat conditions stretching from today (Sunday September 6th) right through until about Wednesday September 16th. Early on, water temp’s sittin’ at a touch warmer than normal – if you're in the water you might notice it's 76°F – about 2.7°F above average for this time of year, so a nice little bonus but it won't help the waves.
The first real glimmer comes late in the window. On Thursday September 17th afternoon, we see a little pulse of NE groundswell creeping in at 2.6ft, period around 10 seconds, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm. That combined energy reads 115 (moderate) which is the best we’ll see all forecast. It’s a reef setup so expect a bit of power for the size, and the direction (NE) lines up nicely with the break’s sweet spot. Don’t expect much in the way of consistency – this spot rarely fires – but if you’re an advanced surfer who knows the reef, that afternoon might just offer a handful of clean little lefts.
The following Friday morning (18th) and Saturday morning (19th) both serve up similar glassy conditions but with a touch less oomph – 2.0ft NE, 10 secs, energy in the 60–70 bracket. They’re small but clean, and with crowds sometimes poppin’ up at this break, you might have it near to yourselfs. After that, Sunday 20th goes cross-onshore and the energy drops right off again, so Thursday 17
