The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer at L'Hermitage Left.
First up, we're looking at a pretty quiet run for the next week and a half. The water temp is running 77°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a nice bonus if you're just having a paddle.
The good news is that after a long stretch of flat, poor conditions, things start to show a little pulse around the start of September. The first real sign of life comes on Tuesday morning, the 1st of September. We've got a 3ft NE swell pushing in with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 146. The wind is glassy from the WNW, so the surface will be clean. It's not a standout by any means, but it's the first surfable wave we've seen.
The pattern continues through Wednesday the 2nd, with similar 2ft NE swell, but the wind shifts onshore, making it messy. The best of the bunch looks like Thursday morning, the 3rd of September. The swell drops a touch to 2ft from the NE, still with that 9-second period, but the wind is light cross-shore from the WNW. The waves will be small, but clean with a light cross-shore bump.
Honestly, there's nothing here that's going to get the heart racing. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the energy is weak for most of the run. The one window worth a look is that Tuesday morning, the 1st, when the glassy conditions and that moderate energy (146) combine for the best chance of a clean, small wave. It's a reef break that's inconsistent, so you'll be waiting for sets, but the right bank could offer a few fun ones.
For the rest of the 16 days, it's a long stretch of flat or poor surf. There's a gap of nearly a week with no real recommendations after the 1st of September. The weekend of the 6th and 7th is back to flat or knee-high junk with onshore winds.
So, the standout here is a very small window: Tuesday morning, the 1st of September. It's not a classic, but it's the only clean option in a dry run.
Rusty.
