The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about this stretch in feet and Fahrenheit.
Honestly, this forecast is a tough one to read. Little Joes/Between the Jetties, a beach and jetty break exposed to the west, is looking at a lot of poor surf. Water temp is about 56°, which is normal for this time of year.
From Saturday the 12th through to Saturday the 19th, it's pretty grim. Swell is there, between 2 to 4 feet, but the wind is the problem. It's cross or cross-onshore nearly the whole time, with moderate to fresh breezes that are just tearing the waves apart. Wave energy is moderate, from 234 up to 542, but the quality is gone. Don't waste your time.
There is one bright spot. On Saturday the 19th of September, we get glassy conditions in the morning and afternoon. Swell is small, only 2 to 2 feet, but it's a long period groundswell from the SW at 18 to 19 seconds. That long period means some nice shape, though at a beach break it might wall up a bit. Still, with glassy conditions and clean water, those little waves will be a treat on a longboard. The energy is moderate (272 to 342), so it won't be powerful, but it's the cleanest we'll see. Expect some company, because this spot can get crowded.
After that, it's back to the grind. From Sunday the 20th onward, the wind comes back, mostly fresh cross-shore with a lumpy chop. The swell keeps coming, and the energy gets stronger, hitting 605 on Monday the 21st, but with 25 mph winds, it's a mess. There are a couple of marginal days on the 24th and 25th, but nothing worth planning for. The second week is pretty much a dud for good waves.
So the call is Saturday the 19th. It's small, but it's clean, and that's the best we've got. Go get some.
Rusty.
