The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

The next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag for the region. We’ve got a lean start with very little happening, but there’s a promising window of cleaner surf later in the second week that’s worth keeping an eye on. The water temperature right now is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real surfable session looks like Monday morning, August 10th, at Lawrencetown Left Point (reef and point). It’s just a small, weak swell from the SW at 2ft and a period of 7 seconds, with combined wave energy of only 61. The wind is light and cross-off from the NW, keeping things clean. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s a start. The afternoon picks up a little more energy (121) with the same size and direction, but still very ordinary.

Tuesday, August 11th, gets messy with strong cross-on winds and lumpy conditions, so give it a miss. Wednesday morning, August 12th, is glassy again but waves are tiny. Thursday morning, August 13th, brings a bit more shape with a 3ft SSW swell at 8 seconds and clean cross-off wind, energy up to 115 – probably the best of a very average first week.

Now, we hit a gap of a few days with nothing really worth paddling out for until the 16th. On Sunday, August 16th, the swell bumps up to 7ft from the SSW, but the period is short at 7 seconds and the wind is cross-shore, so it’s a bit of a messy, choppy affair. Energy is moderate at 343.

The standout in this outlook is Monday, August 17th. Morning session has a clean 6ft SSW swell with an offshore wind from the NW at 25 km/h. The energy is solid at 438, and it's going to be properly clean. The afternoon stays at 6ft from the SW with a cross-off breeze, energy hitting 658. This is the best combination of size and clean conditions in the whole forecast. If you’re intermediate and up, this is your window.

After that, Tuesday the 18th drops off hard, and the rest of the week is plagued by strong onshore winds and choppy seas, though there’s a long-period groundswell from the SSE on Thursday the 20th but it’s blown out completely.

The real gem might be the following weekend – Friday, August 21st, through Sunday, August 23rd. A long-period SSE groundswell (12–13 seconds) rolls in with 3ft to 5ft of swell. Winds on Friday morning are offshore from the NW, and the energy is strong (311). Saturday morning has light offshore winds and 4ft swell with energy at 480 – that’s a really nice setup for the reef. Keep in mind, long-period swells can run a bit straight at beach breaks, but at a point and reef setup like this, they’ll hold their shape. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

Overall, the best bets are the morning of Monday, August 17th, and the morning of Saturday, August 22nd. Both offer clean, surfable waves with proper energy. The first week is mostly a wash, but don’t sleep on that second week window.

Rusty.
