The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. It’s gonna be a tough stretch for anyone looking for a proper surf along this coast. Let’s be real – the next 16 days are looking pretty bleak for quality waves. I’ve scoured the data, and honestly, there’s no true standout session that’ll have you calling in sick. We’ve got a long gap of really marginal conditions, so let’s break it down.
Things start off on Wednesday, August 5th, with a bit of a pulse. Lawrencetown Left Point (reef and point) is the only game in town. The morning sees a 5ft swell from the SW, with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 516, but the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the W at 9 mph, which will keep the surface tidy. The water temp is sitting at 62°, which is about average for this time of year. This is your best window, but it’s not amazing – the conditions are only “marginal.” The afternoon gets messy as the wind swings and picks up, so don’t bother after lunch.
After that, it’s a dry spell. From Thursday, August 6th, right through to the end of the second week, the swell drops right off. We’re talking waist-high slop at best, with most days seeing waves under 3ft and periods so short they’re barely rideable. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-on, turning the ocean into a washing machine. There are a few glimmers of hope – like Monday, August 10th morning, with a glassy 2ft swell, and again on Wednesday, August 12th morning with glassy conditions on a 3ft wave. But with such weak energy (56 and 68 respectively), it’s just not worth paddling out for anything but a longboard and a prayer.
The only real flicker of something a bit different comes later. On Saturday, August 15th, the morning shows a 3ft swell from the SSW with a 9-second period, and importantly, a clean offshore wind from the NNW at 6 mph. The combined energy is 127, so it’s got a little push. This is the best of a bad bunch in the second week, but it’s still small. And then again on Tuesday, August 18th, we see a 3ft to 4ft pulse from the ESE and SE, but with a short 6-7 second period, and moderate wind. The energy is there (151 and 134), but the shape will be all over the place.
To be honest, with such poor wave quality, strong onshore winds, and a beach-and-reef setup, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The window is small and the quality is low. It’s a blank run for the most part.
Keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, I wouldn’t be waxing my board just yet.
