The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on the menu.
Right off the bat, we're looking at a rough start at Leftovers/Rightovers. The wind is blowing cross-off from the northeast, a fresh breeze of 15 to 22 mph, and it's just not helping. The swell is flat, barely a ripple, with a combined energy reading of just 11 (11). From Tuesday the 1st through Saturday the 5th, it's basically a lake. We're talking nothing but 0.7ft to 1.0ft of slop with no push. The water temp is 80°, which is about average for this time of year.
Things get a little pulse on Sunday the 6th afternoon. The wind eases to a moderate breeze, and we see a 2ft, 15-second groundswell from the SW. That long period pushes the energy up to a moderate 206 (206). The report calls it marginal, and I'd agree. It's a sign of life, but not a game-changer.
Monday the 7th afternoon shows a better push. The swell picks up to 3ft from the SW with a 12-second period, and the energy hits 281 (281). The wind is a gentle breeze from the east, still cross-off. The forecast says "expect good surf conditions," which is a huge step up from the flat we've had.
The real standout, the one you're waiting for, is Tuesday the 8th. The afternoon session looks like the best on offer. We get a 5ft swell from the SW, a 14-second period, and the combined energy hits a strong 671 (671). The wind is a gentle cross-off from the ESE. That's clean, long-period groundswell that will line up perfectly on this reef. The forecast says "very good surf conditions." This is the one.
After that, it drops off. Wednesday the 9th has some size but back to 3ft to 4ft, and the energy is still moderate (444). Then from Thursday the 10th through Saturday the 12th, it's back to almost nothing. The only other thing to flag is a big, powerful swell on the 13th. Sunday the 13th morning shows a 8ft swell from the NE, with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 1185 (1185). That's a lot of water, but 8ft at this reef is expert-only territory. The wind is a moderate cross-off, so it could be a heavy, lumpy day. The report says "marginal," so it's for the brave.
So, the bottom line: The first week is a total loss. The one true standout is the afternoon of Tuesday the 8th of September. That's your window. The 13th has raw power, but it's a big, heavy wave for the experts only.
Rusty.
