The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet run ahead, with no big standouts that’ll get the heart racing. The only break in the frame is Lawrencetown Left Point, a reef and point setup that needs a proper SE swell to really wake up, and it’s been inconsistent… and that shows here. There’s a real gap at the start – nothing worth paddling out for until Wednesday the 26th of August, and even then it’s a mixed bag.
The pick of the whole 16-day window is Wednesday morning, August 26th. Lawrencetown Left Point sees a clean 4ft wave from the SSE with a 8-second period, and a light W cross-off breeze at 6 mph keeping things tidy. The combined swell energy is moderate at 265, and with that offshore-ish wind, it’s your best chance for a fun, clean session. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so you might have a few others in the water.
After that morning, it’s a long, slow slide. Wednesday afternoon turns choppy with a cross-on wind, and from Thursday through the end of August, the swell drops away or gets messy. There’s a few glassy or clean moments – like early Sunday morning, August 30th, with glass winds but only 2ft of weak swell (72 energy) – that’s more of a log situation than anything with push.
Things bump up again around Friday morning, September 4th, with a 5ft ESE swell and a 8-second period, but the wind is cross-shore and conditions are only marginal. The energy is moderate at 285, and it might be the biggest swell of the run, but the quality is iffy. A few days later, on Monday morning, September 7th, there’s a clean 3ft pulse (134 energy) with a light cross-off wind, but again, it’s pretty ordinary. For a longer look, Thursday morning, September 10th, brings a clean 3ft wave from the ENE with a gentle offshore NW wind – surfable but nothing to write home about.
Overall, if you’re keen, Wednesday morning, August 26th is your session. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or too choppy to get excited about. Keep an eye on the longer-range stuff, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
