The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s a pretty honest truth: there’s nothing on the cards that’s going to get the heart racing. We’re staring down a long, flat spell for the foreseeable future, so let’s just get that out of the way. For the most part, we’re looking at a whole lotta nothing.
The first real sniff of anything resembling a wave doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 18th, and even then, it’s tiny—just a whisper of swell at `0.7 ft`. The wind is glassy in the morning, so it’ll be clean, but you’re not going to be doing much more than floating around. That pretty much sets the tone for the following week: micro-swells and blown-out afternoons.
There’s a bit of a pulse showing up on Wednesday the 26th. The swell bumps up to `3 ft` in the morning from the WNW, with a period of `6 seconds`. It’s still small and weak, with the combined energy only hitting `64`, but it’s something. The morning wind is a light cross-shore, so it might be rideable for a total beginner on a foamie, but it’s not worth making a special trip for. The afternoon builds a touch to `4 ft` with energy at `118`, but the wind swings cross-shore and it’ll get a bit messy.
The one standout, if you can even call it that, is the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. The wind is completely glassy, the swell is `3 ft` from the NW with a `6 second` period, and the energy is at `54`. It’s not big, but clean and glassy is a huge positive. Lourdata or Lourdas Beach is your only option here, and it’s an exposed beach break. With this kind of short-period, weak swell, it’s probably going to be bumpy and soft, but a glassy morning will make it look better than it is. Just don’t expect any barrels. Crowds are a possibility, as it’s known to get busy sometimes.
After that, it fades back to nothing. There’s a glimmer on Sunday the 30th with `2 ft` and clean morning winds, but that’s about it. The bottom line is this: the surf is almost non-existent, and even the “biggest” day is tiny and poor quality. For a spot like this, a blank run isn’t unusual at all. It’s a beach and reef setup, and with this kind of weak, short-period wind swell, you might actually have more fun watching the kite surfers than trying to paddle out. Keep the board waxed and hope the forecasts change, because right now it’s a waiting game. This is Rusty, signing off.
