The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. I gotta be honest with you, it’s looking pretty bleak for the next couple of weeks. The reports are coming in and there’s nothing good on the table. Not a single worthwhile session in the whole 16-day outlook. The waves are gonna show up, but the wind’s gonna wreck every single one of them.
We’re talking a persistent north to northeast wind, just blowing straight cross-onshore. It’s gonna put chop on everything and make it a total mess. The first week has some size, like around 5 feet on the 22nd and 24th, and the energy picks up (273 on the 22nd morning, up to 307 on the 24th afternoon). But with that wind, it’s just a crumbly, bumpy disaster. If you see a 5ft wave and a 25 mph onshore wind, you know it's not gonna be pretty.
It carries on like that into the end of the month and the start of September. The swell sticks around, even getting up to 6ft on the 28th with strong energy (368 that Friday afternoon), but the wind doesn't let up. This is one of those setups that’s going to be a lot more fun for the kiteboarders than for us surfers. The cross-shore winds and choppy conditions are going to be perfect for them, so maybe just watch them and wait it out.
The second week doesn’t offer any relief either. We’re just stuck in the same pattern. There’s no window of clean glass, no dawn patrol gem. It’s all the same story.
So, to sum it up: we’ve got a full 16-day stretch with zero good calls. It's a complete miss. The ocean will have energy, but it's not surfable in any enjoyable way. Leave the board at home, don't waste the wax, and keep an eye on the charts. It’s gotta change eventually, and when it does, we’ll be ready. But for now, there’s nothing to chase.
