The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you what I’m seeing on the charts for Lawrencetown Left Point.
Honestly, for the next week and a half, it’s looking pretty grim. There’s a real dry spell here. We’ve got nothing to get excited about until the end of the first week. This spot is inconsistent, and it’s showing.
We finally get a small window of hope on Saturday the 5th. The morning will see a clean 5 ft swell out of the SE, with a moderate offshore wind from the NNW. It’s not huge, but it’s rideable and the wind will make it look clean. The combined swell energy is moderate at 260. The water temp is a crazy 67° F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s over 5° F different from usual, so it’s pretty unusual.
The next real chance comes on Sunday the 6th in the afternoon. Swell jumps to 7 ft out of the ENE with a fresh offshore wind. The combined energy is strong at 859, so there’s some power behind it, but with that size it’s moving into “experts only” territory. Still, fresh offshore and clean waves at a point break? That could be the best on offer for the whole run.
Monday the 7th will have leftover, manageable 5 ft to 6 ft swell from the E, with clean offshore wind. Decent, but not a standout.
From the 8th of September onward, it drops off hard. Tiny swells, shifting winds, and a lot of poor conditions. There is a weird little long-period spike on the 17th – 1.0 ft from the SE with a 13-second period – but that’s just a long period for tiny waves. Not worth paddling out for.
Forget about the mid-period. The build on the 10th has big energy (1852) but it’s onshore and messy. That looks more like a windsurf or kite day than a paddle surf session.
So, bottom line: if you have to get wet, point your board at the offshore mornings on the 5th or the 6th afternoon. That’s your best bet in a bleak outlook.
