Last Chance Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the lowdown on what’s coming our way at Last Chance. This is a demanding, advanced point break that takes a south swell, and it’s about to get interesting.

The next few days are a mixed bag, but the real magic is hiding in the second week. There’s a solid run of surfable waves, but patience is key.

Monday morning, August 24th kicks things off with clean waves averaging 5ft from the south, period at 9 seconds, and a light offshore wind. The combined energy is moderate (348). It’s a solid start, but not the headline act.

Tuesday morning, August 25th is glassy—wind is dead from the northwest—with 4ft south swell. The period bumps up to 12 seconds, giving the waves more shape and punch. Energy is moderate (465). This is a clean, fun morning session.

Wednesday morning, August 26th is another glassy winner. The swell is 3ft from the south, but the period stretches to a very long 17 seconds. That’s groundswell energy, and it shows in the combined energy reading of 624. This will be a much better wave, especially at this point break.

Thursday morning, August 27th is the first real standout. We’ve got glassy conditions, 5ft of south swell, and a very long 18-second period. The combined energy jumps to a strong 1202. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers—clean, powerful, and lined up. The afternoon sees the swell bump to 6ft, but the cross-onshore wind chops it up.

The weekend is a bit of a washout with smaller, shorter-period swell and cross-offshore winds. Sunday morning, August 30th offers a clean 4ft with a solid offshore, but it’s nothing to write home about.

Now, hold onto your board, because Wednesday morning, September 2nd is a big one. The swell jumps to 10ft from the south with a 17-second period. The combined energy is a massive 4812. This is expert territory, and it’s clean. Not for the faint of heart.

But the real monster is Friday morning, September 4th. We’re looking at 12ft of south swell with a 21-second period. The combined energy reading is a staggering 10328. The wind is a light cross-offshore, keeping it clean. This is an exceptional, powerful, long-period groundswell that will be a true test of skill at this advanced point. It’s the best on offer, but it’s more than a week out, so keep an eye on the forecast.

After that, it drops off into smaller, choppier conditions through the second week, with a few clean scraps but nothing that matches the Thursday and Friday standouts.

Rusty.
