The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Lawrencetown Left Point.
Straight up, we’ve got a long quiet spell ahead. The next week and a half is pretty much a write-off for any kind of decent surf. The first real nod towards something rideable doesn’t show up until Thursday the 12th of September, and even then, it’s only a brief window. Before that, everything is small, weak, or blown out.
For the first week of September, you’re looking at tiny ankle-snatchers with combined energy barely registering. The water’s a bit on the chilly side, about average for this time of year, so a decent 4/3 should sort you out. The winds are mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the swell just doesn’t have any guts. There’s a small clean window on the morning of Monday the 1st of September with glassy conditions and a 0.7 ft SSE swell at 10 seconds, but that’s barely a ripple.
Friday the 4th of September sees a jump in size to 7 ft from the SE, but with a short 6-second period and onshore winds, it’s a messy, choppy mess – more of a windsurfing day than a paddle surf day. That kind of pattern holds through the first week.
The first real standout window appears on Thursday the 12th of September. Saturday morning, the 12th of September, is your best bet. We’ve got a clean 3 ft SSW groundswell with a 10-second period, light offshore cross-off winds from the W, and combined wave energy around 215. It’s not huge, but it’s clean, well-shaped, and the break will have some good lines. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so it might be worth getting out early.
Now, for the brave. Monday the 14th of September shows a solid 10 ft SSW swell hitting, with clean winds from the WNW. The combined energy is huge, over 1300. But here’s the rub: at that size, this break starts to get seriously heavy and is strictly for experts only. The short 8-second period also means it’ll be a bit dumpy. If you’re not a local charger, give this one a wide berth. It’s a big wave day, but for the right crew only.
So, to sum it up: a long dry spell until early in the second week. The standout is Saturday morning, September 12th, for clean, manageable waves. The 14th is for seasoned pros only.
Rusty, signing out.
