Main Street Pier Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Looking down the line at Main Street Pier for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta tell you – it’s flat, it’s small, and it’s not worth more than a glance. There’s no real standout window for good surf, so don’t rush.

The water’s about 82°, which is dead average for this time of year – no weirdness there.

The overall picture is tiny, weak swell. Heights barely get above waist-high most days – mostly 0.3m to 0.8m, with periods barely cracking 9 seconds. Energy is mostly weak, under 100, with just a couple of brief spells in the moderate low hundreds.

Monday the 7th is a total loss – 0.3m swell, weak energy, poor conditions even with glassy morning winds. Tuesday the 8th bumps slightly to 0.8m from the NE with a 6-second period. Morning is glassy, making it surfable but ordinary – combined energy only 68 (weak).

Wednesday the 9th sees the best swell at about 1.2m from the ENE at 8 seconds, energy hitting 185 (moderate). But the wind is cross or cross-onshore all day, so it’ll be messy and choppy.

From Thursday the 10th onward, it’s tiny – 0.8m down to 0.2m – with periods 7 to 9 seconds. There are a few clean or glassy pockets, like Thursday morning (clear, light cross-offshore, 0.8m) or Saturday morning (clean, 0.4m), but there’s just no push.

There’s a long stretch of poor conditions with a big gap in surf worth mentioning. Into the second week, it’s the same story – you're looking at 0.3m to 0.4m and mostly onshore or cross winds.

The only flicker is Tuesday the 22nd morning: 0.8m from the NE at 7 seconds, glassy, and energy at 101 (moderate) – surfable but still just small,ordinary waves.

For a beach/pier setup, this is a flat spell, not really kite-surfing weather either. But around here, these quiet runs are part of the rhythm. I wouldn’t give up hope – forecasts can flip quick. But for now, save your energy.

Rusty.
