G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk about Lighthouse Beach Port Macquarie in feet and miles per hour.
The water temp is 68°F—pretty normal for this time of year.
First real chance to paddle out comes Saturday the 11th in the morning. Swell is around 5ft from the SE with a 10-second period, but the wind is light offshore from the NW, so it’ll be clean. Energy is moderate (420). Crowds are possible.
Sunday the 12th morning is also clean—light WNW offshore, swell about 4ft from the ESE (369 energy). Small but rideable.
The big standout is Saturday the 19th morning. Glassy flat calm, wind from the west at just 3 mph. Swell is 6ft from the SE with a long 13-second period (1218 energy). That’s proper groundswell—more energy, better shape. At a beach break it might wall up a bit straight with that period, but for experienced surfers, this is the best of the whole forecast. Crowds are possible.
There’s a big lump on Wednesday the 15th afternoon—12ft from the S, but cross-shore wind and that size is expert-only. Not a great all-round option.
The 19th is the one to aim for.
Rusty.
