The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, switching to feet and miles per hour for the crew who think in imperial.
Water temp is sitting at 72°F, a touch warmer than normal for the time of year – not bad.
We’re starting off slow. Sunday the 13th morning is the first real chance: 4ft of NW swell at 13 seconds, energy reading 501. Glassy east wind at 3 mph – clean as a whistle. Get in early because the afternoon goes cross and choppy.
Monday the 14th morning repeats the trick: 4ft NW, 11 seconds, glassy east wind at 3 mph, energy 389. Nice clean start, but the afternoon turns messy again.
Then we hit a dead zone from Tuesday the 15th through the rest of the week. Swell drops, wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, and it’s just not worth suiting up.
Now, Saturday the 19th morning is the real standout. 7ft of NW groundswell, 13 seconds, and energy cranking at 1346. Glassy east wind at 3 mph. That’s powerful, clean, and for experienced surfers only.
Sunday the 20th morning is still excellent: 6ft NW, 12 seconds, glassy east wind, energy 805.
Monday the 21st pushes bigger – 7ft NW at 14 seconds, energy 1664. Light onshore wind but a massive groundswell. Experts only.
Tuesday the 22nd morning is a gem: 5ft NW, 12 seconds, glassy southwest wind, energy 700. Clean and user-friendly for strong intermediates.
The second week tapers off but has clean windows. Wednesday the 23rd morning offers 5ft NW with offshore east wind. Friday the 25th morning is another good one: 6ft NW, 12 seconds, cross-off wind, energy 882.
And Monday the 28th morning finishes with a tidy 3ft NW swell and a solid offshore east-northeast breeze at 12 mph.
The best of the best are Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th mornings. Big, clean, powerful NW groundswell and glassy wind. Don’t sleep on it.
Rusty.
