The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the lowdown in feet and miles.
To be honest, the next 16 days at Laniakea Reef and Holtons are looking flat and bleak. There’s a long dry spell from Tuesday the 25th of August through to Saturday the 5th of September, with most days showing zero swell energy. You’re not missing a thing.
The first real sign of life pops up on Sunday the 6th of September. The morning brings a tiny 2ft wave from the NNW, period 13 seconds, and combined energy around 118. That’s weak but it’s the best we’ve seen. The wind is a gentle cross-off from the ENE, so it’s clean but not glassy. It’s surfable, but just barely. The afternoon is similar, 2ft with energy dropping to 108.
Monday the 7th of September holds onto small 1ft waves from the NNW, period around 11-12 seconds, energy in the 40s and 50s. Still “surfable but very ordinary.” Light winds keep it tidy.
Then we get a little more interesting: Tuesday the 8th of September afternoon shows a jump to 4ft from the NE, period 9 seconds, and combined energy hitting 395. That’s a moderate pulse, the most size in the whole forecast. The wind is a moderate cross-off from the ENE. It’s marginal, but it’s something. Wednesday the 9th of September morning has 3ft from the NW, period 12 seconds, energy 245.
The water temp is 81°F, about 1°F warmer than the long-term average—nothing unusual, just normal warm water.
The optimum swell direction here is NW, and when we do get a pulse, it’s from that direction, which suits the reef. Crowds can happen sometimes, but with this forecast, I doubt many will bother.
The only standout, if you can call it that, is the Tuesday 8th of September afternoon with that 4ft NE swell. But it’s still marginal. Don’t get your hopes up.
This is Rusty, signing off.
