The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ll be honest with you – it’s a pretty grim start. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing much. From now until about the 13th of August, there’s barely a ripple worth mentioning. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.6ft to 1ft, with periods all over the place but generally weak. The wind is a constant cross-off from the ENE, which is a solid direction for this spot, but with no swell to work with, it’s just a waste of a good breeze. The combined wave energy is barely registering, mostly in the single digits or low double digits. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple. For a reef break like Leftovers/Rightovers, you need some push, and there just isn’t any.
Now, things start to get interesting around Thursday the 13th of August. The swell finally shows up. We see a jump in combined energy to 186 on the morning and 266 by the afternoon – that’s moderate wave energy and a real sign of life. Swell is coming from the west at 2ft to 2ft, with a period of 15 to 16 seconds. That’s groundswell territory, and for a reef, that’s proper. The wind stays cross-off from the ENE, so the faces should be clean. This is the standout window. The best of the bunch looks like the afternoon of the 13th, with that 2ft west swell and 266 (moderate) energy. The water temperature is 80°F which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
This west swell hangs around for a few days, with energy staying in the moderate range (142 to 269) right through to the 17th. The size stays around 2ft, with a period of 14 to 15 seconds. The wind holds cross-off, keeping it tidy. If you’ve been waiting for a session, the 13th through the 17th of August is your window. It’s not going to be huge, but it’ll be clean, consistent, and with that long period, the reef should line up nicely. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, it’s been a rough wait, but this late run makes up for it.
Rusty, signing off.
