The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for this stretch of coast.
Honestly, the outlook is pretty grim for a long while. For the first twelve days, we’ve got next to nothing to get excited about. The energy is weak, with combined swell energy readings sitting below 100 – we’re talking piddly numbers like 9, 15, 10, right up into the 80s, but it’s all just too small to bother with. The swell heights are barely a ripple at 0.7 ft to 2 ft, and the wind is a persistent cross-off from the ENE or E, blowing 19 to 31 mph. It’s clean, but there’s just no wave to ride. That’s a long, flat gap from now all the way until the morning of August 13th.
Thursday, August 13th is when things finally start to show some pulse. The wind is still a cross-off from the ENE at 16-19 mph, but now the swell jumps to 2 ft from the west, and the period stretches to 16 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy climbs to 183 on Thursday morning, which is moderate energy. It’s still not big, but those long-period pulses will bring some shape, especially on the reef. Best of the bunch looks like Friday, August 14th. The swell will be 3 ft from the west, period still at 16 seconds, and combined energy hits 314 in the morning. That’s moderate, but with that long period, it has punch. The cross-off wind from the ENE at 19 mph will keep the surface clean. This is the only true standout in the whole run, but it’s for confident surfers – you’ll be waiting for the sets, but they’ll be worth it on that reef.
The water temp is sitting at 80°F with an anomaly of +0.4°, so dead average for this time of year.
So, for the next week and a half, don’t bother paddling out. But mark Friday, August 14th on the calendar – it’s the one chance for a real session.
Rusty.
