The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let me tell ya, it's a tough stretch ahead for LHermitage Left. We're looking at a real flat spell, no two ways about it.
Right now, through the start of the period, there's just nothing doing. Complete flatness. The combined wave energy is sitting at zero (0) for days on end. It's going to be a quiet week. The first tiny bit of life shows up on Sunday the 30th of August in the afternoon, with a weak 2ft swell out of the NE, but the energy is still barely a whisper at 26. That’s not something to get excited about.
Even when we get into early September, the surf is tiny and weak. On Monday the 31st of August afternoon, we see a 2ft NE swell with a period of 7 seconds, but the energy is only 74 – that’s just weak, sloppy stuff. The water is sitting at a very warm 77°F, which is a notable 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only remarkable thing.
The only faint glimmer in this whole outlook comes on Wednesday the 2nd of September. The afternoon shows a 2ft NE swell, but the period stretches out to 12 seconds. That long-period groundswell gets the energy up to 84. While it's still small, that longer period could give a bit more shape on the reef if it lines up. The wind is glassy from the north, so it could be clean. It is an inconsistent spot, and the swell is tiny, but that’s the best we get.
After that, it's back to the doldrums with no real improvement through the second week. For a break like this that is inconsistent, a flat run is a bit more normal.
