The Lowdown

G'day, it’s Rusty here.

Honestly, the next couple of weeks are a tough watch for anyone chasing a proper wave around Lori Wilson Park. The swell window is just not lining up, and we’re looking at a whole lot of small, weak dribble for a solid stretch. The first good chunk of the run, from the 18th right through to the 25th, the surf is basically nonexistent. We’re talking ankle-biters in the 1ft range most days, with the energy reading in the low teens to just over a hundred (39 at best early on, but mostly under 30). It’s clean at times, especially when that morning glass kicks in, but there’s just no power. The combo energy doesn't even crack into the moderate range until the 22nd (144) and the 23rd (201), but even then, the wave heights are barely moving, and the period is messy. You’d be surfing whitewash, not waves.

The morning of the 26th is the first real hint of a pulse. It’s still not big, with the swell around 2ft, but the period jumps way up to 16 seconds from the east, and the energy is sitting at a solid moderate (159). That’s proper groundswell energy, even if the height is small. It's glassy too with a WSW breeze, so it’s clean. You might get a fun, longboardable wave, but it’s a far cry from a standout.

The best of the lot, if you can call it that, is the 27th through the 29th. The swell nudges up to 2ft, and the period holds in the 12-13 second range, so there’s a bit more push. The morning of the 27th has a WSW offshore wind and the energy is back up to 145 – that’s a surfable, clean option for a small-wave board. The 28th is similar, with a morning offshores and 116 energy, and the 29th morning goes glassy with 59 energy, but the swell drops slightly. Even then, this isn't a standout; it’s just the least ordinary of a very ordinary run. The best surf is genuinely small, so don’t get too excited.

After that, the plug gets pulled again. From the 30th onwards, it's back to the small, weak stuff with a lot of onshore and cross-onshore winds, and the period drops back to 8 seconds. The first of September looks like more of the same – tiny and messy.

Forget the big days; there aren't any. If you’re desperate, the best bet is to be out there on the 27th or 28th mornings when the offshore wind cleans up the small easterly groundswell. That’s about the best we get. For a beginner, this is all safe and easy, but for anyone else, it’s a board in the car, a coffee in hand, and a lot of watching.

Rusty out.
