The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. For Lawrencetown Left Point, we’re staring down a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. From Wednesday the 12th all the way through to Monday the 17th, it’s a wasteland. Tiny little knee-high slop, weak wind, and just poor conditions all around. You’d be better off cleaning the wax off your board than trying to surf this stuff.
Then, finally, we get a glimmer of hope. The standout session, and the only one I’d actually set an alarm for, is Tuesday morning, the 18th of August. The swell is going to push up to a clean 5ft from the South, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is solid (315) – that’s proper grunt for this spot. What makes it even sweeter is the wind: a gentle WNW breeze, cross-offshore, keeping it clean. For a reef and point break like this, that’s a recipe for some lined-up, zippy waves. It’s an intermediate spot, so that size is perfect for a good session. Keep in mind it’s inconsistent and sometimes gets a crowd, so if you’re keen, be early.
That Tuesday afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-shore chop, so the morning is your window. After that, things drop back down into the doldrums. We get a few small, ordinary days here and there, but nothing that’ll get your heart rate up. By the time we get into the last week of August, there’s a hint of glassy, small surf, but it’s nothing to write home about.
Water temperature is sitting at 66°F, which is 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a tropical summer treat for a Nova Scotia point break.
Stay patient. That Tuesday morning is the one.
Rusty.
