The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again, and I’ll put this in terms you can feel.
This 16-day outlook is a flat spell with a couple of tiny blips. You’re not going to find any proper surf for the first week and a half. From Wednesday the 5th of August onwards, it’s all knee-high or less—0.7ft to 1ft—with a weak combined wave energy that stays below 100 units for days. The wind comes out of the east-northeast at 9 to 19 mph, keeping the surface clean, but the swell is just too small to ride. The water is 80°F, pretty normal for this time of year. Crowds can sometimes show at Leftovers/Rightovers, but with waves this tiny, it’ll be empty.
The first real hint of something comes on Saturday the 15th of August. Swell bumps up to 2ft from the west with a 15-second period, combined energy hits 121 units. Wind is cross-off from the east at 16 mph. It’s still small, but the period is nice and the surface will be clean. For experienced surfers on the reef, this is your best early window.
Then Monday the 17th of August is the top of the run. Swell reaches 2ft from the northeast, 12-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 198 units—the highest of the whole outlook. Wind stays cross-off from the east-northeast at 16 mph, so it’ll be clean. This is the best you’re going to get, but it’s still only a small-wave day.
After that, it fades back to flatness. Tiny 1.0ft to 1ft waves and energy dropping into the 40s. Not much to talk about.
Bottom line: a long, quiet stretch with two small windows of hope on the 15th and especially the 17th of August. If you’re itching to get wet, those are your days. Otherwise, take a break.
Rusty.
