The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks of surf.
We're looking at a slow start, no doubt. The first few days are a mess. Monday the 7th has a 7ft W swell, but it's choppy and onshore. The water is 65°, just about normal for this time of year. Tuesday the 8th is a complete washout with a 10ft swell and 30 mph winds, way too big for most and all blown out.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 12th in the morning. It's tiny, only 3ft from the WNW, but the period is a very long 15 seconds, and the wind is absolutely glassy. The wave energy is low (495), but for a point and reef break, that long-period groundswell could make for some super clean, if small, waves. A good one for the log.
The big one, the one you want to save the date for, is Sunday the 20th of September. That morning we're looking at a clean 6ft WNW groundswell with a 12-second period and a nice cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is a solid 1031, telling you there's plenty of push. Le Petit Minou will be handling that long-period swell beautifully. It's a week and a half away, so it's a wait-and-see, but the forecast is calling it excellent for experienced surfers. That's the standout.
Wednesday the 16th morning has similar size and clean offshore wind, but the swell quality and energy on the 20th are just better. The 20th of September is the one to chase.
Rusty, out.
