The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next 16 days. I’ll be straight with you – this run is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a long wait with a lot of poor conditions, but there is one true standout that makes it worth holding out for.
The first surfable recommendation pops up on Saturday morning, the 5th of September. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
The standout event is the Tuesday morning, the 15th of September. The forecast is showing a solid 6ft swell from the WNW with a short period of 8 seconds. The energy is strong (684), and the wind is light and offshore from the ENE. This is going to be clean and powerful. It’s a bit on the beefy side, so it’s not for the groms – this is expert territory. The swell direction matches the optimal W direction at Le Kerou, so expect some punchy lines. This is the one to circle on your calendar.
Before that, you’ll be waiting through a long gap. After the Saturday morning the 5th, which was a clean 4ft from the W with a 13-second period, the conditions quickly turn poor. The next real glimmer isn’t until the Saturday morning of the 12th, which is a small, clean 3ft from the W, but with weak energy (128). It’s surfable, but don’t expect much. The Sunday afternoon of the 13th offers a glassy 2ft, but again, it’s very ordinary.
The wind is a major issue for most of this period. Strong cross-onshore winds (WSW, W, SW) are the norm, chopping up the waves and making for poor surf. The swell period is often short (6-10 seconds), which doesn’t help shape.
If you’re a kite surfer, the setup on the 7th of September (Monday) with a 4ft to 5ft swell and strong cross-onshore winds might look more interesting than paddle surfing.
After the big Tuesday the 15th, the conditions settle back into small, clean, but very ordinary surf. The Thursday morning of the 17th and the Friday morning of the 18th offer some clean, offshore conditions with 3ft to 4ft swells, but nothing to get too excited about.
So, the long and short of it: clean small surf is possible, but the only real standout is that Tuesday the 15th. It’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it, but it’s the best bet on offer.
Rusty.
