The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in from the beach. We've got a bit of a run here, so let's break it down.
First off, the first couple of days are a total washout – onshore wind and flat, weak conditions. The real action kicks off on Thursday, the 13th, and runs through the end of the week.
The standout window is Thursday the 13th through Friday the 14th at Lambe Lambe. This is a point break that doesn't break often, so when it lines up, it's a big deal. Thursday morning we've got a clean 5-foot swell from the SSE, with a 14-second period, and a light offshore wind out of the SSW. That's perfect for this spot. The afternoon holds up with similar size and decent offshore winds. The combined energy is strong at 850, so there's plenty of push.
But the absolute best is Friday morning, the 14th. The swell is a consistent 5-foot from the SSE, period drops a touch to 13 seconds, but the wind is dead calm. Glassy. Zero wind. It doesn't get any better. The combined energy is still strong at 855. Expect crowds, as this spot is always packed, but it'll be worth it for the cleanest waves of the forecast.
The weekend drops off. Saturday and Sunday are poor, with onshore winds and a smaller, weaker swell. Monday the 17th is a bit bigger, but it's a short-period windswell from the east-northeast, and the onshore winds kill it. The combined energy is moderate, but the quality is poor.
We get a bit of a recovery on Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th. The winds are cleaner, but the swell is smaller and weaker. Tuesday morning has a clean 5-foot ENE swell with a light offshore breeze, but the energy is a lot lower at 302. Wednesday morning is glassy but the swell is only 4 feet. It's surfable, but nothing to rush for.
The following week brings a few more pulses. Thursday the 20th shows a good-looking 5-foot S swell with glassy conditions in the morning (combined energy 611). That's a solid option. Friday the 21st has a 4-foot S groundswell with a 12-second period and light offshore winds. It's consistent, but smaller.
The real long-range highlight is a promising but less certain pulse arriving on Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th. Tuesday afternoon the 25th goes glassy with a 5-foot SSE swell, and then Wednesday morning the 26th sees a jump to 6 feet from the east, with a gentle offshore wind and a combined energy reading of 871. That's the biggest and most powerful swell of the whole outlook, but it's a week and a half away, so don't book your flights just yet.
Overall, the best bet is Friday morning, the 14th, at Lambe Lambe. If you can't make that, Thursday the 13th and Friday the 20th are your next best shots. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.
