The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's comin' down the line for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a bit of a slow burn for Leffingwell Landing. The setup's gonna be tricky for a while, with onshore winds and that swell mostly coming from the SSW, which doesn't quite line up with what this reef really needs. Water temp is sitting at 60°, about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The first few days, through the end of next week, are looking pretty marginal. Nothing you'd want to paddle out for. The combo energy is there, bouncing around 426 to over 500 (moderate wave energy), but the winds are just never giving us a clean face. It’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making things messy. Wait it out.
Finally, there's a glimmer of hope on Saturday, the 22nd of August. No kidding, the morning session is marked as potentially glassy – that's all we want. It's only small, around 2ft from the SSW, but with that glassy feel, it might be your only real chance to sneak a few. That's the standout of the whole run, but it's a real "shoulda been there" kinda wave if you blink.
After that, it’s back into the wind and chop again for the rest of the outlook. I’d keep an eye on that Saturday morning, but for now, the board's stayin' in the garage.
Rusty.
