The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.
Look, I won't sugarcoat it. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for us here at Main Street Pier. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands. The whole 16-day window is a dud, with every single session coming in with a score of zero. That means there’s no good surf on offer at all. It’s a tough run, but hey, it happens here. The forecast can always change, so don't lose hope just yet.
We start off on Thursday, September 10th. Early morning brings a tiny 3ft swell from the ENE, but with a short period of 7 seconds and a cross-shore breeze, it’s going to be poor. The combined energy is weak at just 72. That afternoon, it gets even worse with a risk of thunderstorms and a choppy cross-shore wind. The rest of the week is more of the same: tiny waves, 1.0ft to 2ft, with a mix of glassy conditions and onshore breezes. There are a few mornings, like Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th, that look completely glassy, but there’s just no swell to work with. The water temperature is a warm 82°, which is about average for this time of year.
The second week isn't any better. We see the swell bump up a little from September 21st, hitting 4ft from the NE. But the period is a weak 6 to 7 seconds, and the wind is onshore from the NE at 16 mph, making it messy. The combined energy climbs to moderate levels, hitting 132 on the morning of the 22nd and even 255 on the 23rd, but that’s coupled with a strong onshore breeze at 25 mph. That’s not surfable, that’s a washing machine. The setup here is a beach and pier, and with that much wind and chop, it honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for those days.
The final days of the outlook, from September 24th, drop back down to weak, wind-affected dribble. There's just no standout session here. If you’re desperate, the glassy mornings with no wind are the best chance for a splash, but you’ll be on a longboard doing little more than floating. The best option on offer? Honestly, there isn't one. It's a total flat spell for Main Street Pier.
Rusty.

Information about the Main Street Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Main Street Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Main Street Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Main Street Pier surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Main Street Pier) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Main Street Pier may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
