The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles for those who think that way.
Water temp is 57°, which is just a hair under the usual for this time of year – nothing to write home about.
We’re starting off a bit flat. The first real chance to get wet is Tuesday afternoon, the 25th of August. There’s a tiny 2ft swell from the SW, but the wind goes dead calm – glassy. That’s a big win for clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate at 369, so there’s a little push, but it’s a long period groundswell (17 seconds), meaning good shape but long waits between sets. On a beach/jetty break, that long period can make the waves a bit straight, but for the size, it’ll be a fun little session.
Wednesday the 26th of August is similar: mornings are cross-on with a light breeze, but afternoons go glassy again with a 2ft SW swell. Clean, but tiny.
From Friday the 28th through the weekend, the wind from the NNW picks up to 15-22 mph, and the swell hits 2-3ft. The chop gets nasty, and it’s a messy, lumpy scene. Not worth it.
Monday the 31st of August gives you another afternoon glass-off with a 3ft SW swell. That’s your best bet for the first week – clean, small, and long period.
In the second week, the swell gets bigger. Thursday the 3rd of September brings 4ft from the W, and Friday the 4th hits 5ft from the WNW. That’s intermediate territory, but the wind is screaming cross-shore at 15-22 mph, making it choppy and ugly. The combined energy is strong (564-831), but with that wind, it’s a kite-surfing day, not a paddle day. The period is short (9-10 seconds), so the waves will be crumbly.
The best of the bigger stuff is ruined by wind. The only true standouts are the glassy afternoons on the 25th and 31st of August – clean, but small. No real standout power session in this window.
Rusty out.
