The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for this stretch of coast.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough outlook. We're looking at an almost two-week stretch of flat to tiny, mostly unsurfable conditions. The first real chance at anything even vaguely rideable doesn't show up until the 12th of September, and even then, it's a long shot.

The only spot on the radar is Lourdata or Lourdas Beach, a beginner-friendly beach break that's exposed to the SW. But it's "inconsistent" and "rarely breaks" as it is, and the whole forecast window is plagued by poor surf quality. The water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 83°, which is nice for a swim but not doing us any favours for surf.

Let's run through the painful details. From now right through the 11th of September, we're looking at a whole lot of nothing. Swell heights are mostly 0.7ft or less, with periods under 6 seconds – that's just wind chop. The wind is all over the place, but mostly cross or cross-on, and the combined wave energy barely registers, often just a 1 or 2 (weak energy). There are a few glassy mornings, like the 5th and 7th of September, but with no swell to speak of, it's just a pretty lake.

The 12th of September is the first day we see a pulse of energy, with a 1ft swell from the WSW on the morning session, period of 6 seconds, and combined energy hitting 26 (still weak). The winds are a cross-shore from the WNW, making for a slight chop. The afternoon sees a bit more size at 2ft from the WNW, but the wind switches to a cross-on from the west, making it choppy. It's a poor surf day, but it's the best we've seen in a week. The 13th of September, Sunday morning, offers a 1ft NW swell with a 5-second period and a cross-shore wind, but it's followed by a choppy afternoon.

The real standout, if you can call it that, comes on the 16th and 17th of September. On the 16th, Wednesday, we get a 2ft to 3ft swell from the WSW and W, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy builds from 28 to 42 (weak energy). The wind is light and cross-shore, so it's clean but small. The 17th of September, Thursday morning, is actually the best bet. We have a 2ft swell from the WSW, period of 7 seconds, combined energy of 35 (weak), and a clean cross-offshore wind from the NW. The afternoon is similar, with a 3ft swell and 69 combined energy (weak), but the wind picks up to 15 mph from the NW, still cross-off but a bit punchy. This is the best on offer, but it's still a pretty marginal wave. For a beginner, these tiny waves might be okay, but for anyone else, it's a frustrating session.

After that, the 18th and 19th of September, Saturday, see a rapid drop-off back to the tiny stuff. A glassy morning on the 19th with a 1ft SW swell is about it.

So, the best of a very poor bunch is the 16th and 17th of September, with the 17th morning being the pick for the cleanest conditions. It's not much, but it's the only window with a pulse of energy and decent wind. Given the patchy consistency and the tiny size, this setup looks more interesting for a paddleboard or a kayak than a surfboard. A real shame.

Rusty.
