The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s ahead for Leftovers/Rightovers. The next couple of weeks start off slow, real slow, so don’t rush out there. There’s a bit of a lull early on, but things should pick up in the back half. Water temp is about 80°, pretty much normal for this time of year.
The first few days are not worth your time. Monday the 7th has a tiny 1ft NW windswell with a fresh cross-off breeze, and there’s no energy behind it. Tuesday the 8th brings a bigger 8ft early from the WSW, but the wind is up and it’s messy. The energy is moderate, but it’s not clean. Tuesday afternoon drops to 5ft but it’s still not great.
From Wednesday the 9th through Monday the 14th, it’s flat. We’re looking at waves from 1ft to 3ft at best, with weak energy. There’s a tiny bump on the 12th with a 2ft SW groundswell and a long 14-second period, but it’s still tiny and ordinary. This stretch is a real snoozer.
The good stuff starts on the 16th. We’ve got some 2ft SW groundswell with a long 18-second period, and the conditions are looking better. But the standout is Thursday the 17th: 5ft of NNW groundswell with a 12-second period and strong energy. The wind is light, so it should be clean. Friday the 18th is also good with 4-5ft from the NNW and similar conditions. These are the days to be out there.
After that, the swell backs off a touch, but the 20th and 21st keep some decent NNW groundswell rolling with 4ft waves and good energy. Then, Tuesday the 22nd looks like a fantastic finisher: 3-4ft of NW groundswell and glassy conditions all day. The lack of wind is a huge plus. It’s a bit further out, so not a certainty, but it’s looking promising.
So, mark your calendar for the 17th and 18th as the top days, with the 22nd as a great backup if you can wait it out. The early part of the week is a write-off, but there’s plenty to look forward to.
