The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for Main Street Pier. I’m gonna be honest with you—this is a rough run. Right now and for the next couple weeks, the surf is basically flat or dribbly. We’re talking a long, quiet spell with hardly anything to get excited about.
From Tuesday 11th August right through to Monday 25th August, the swell is tiny. Heights are mostly hanging around 0.3m to 0.5m, with periods under 10 seconds—weak, fat waves that just don’t have any punch. The combined energy is mostly in the weak range (10 to 83), so there’s nothing to really work with. The wind does offer some nice glassy or clean windows here and there, especially on the Tuesday morning (11th) with a glassy 5 km/h WSW breeze, and again Friday morning (14th) with glassy conditions from the SSW. But the swell just isn’t there to back it up. It’s a classic case of good conditions, no waves.
The water temperature is sitting at 28°, which is about 0.9° cooler than average for this time of year—nothing drastic, just a touch on the cooler side of normal.
Things start to shift a little around Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th August. There’s a bit more swell showing up, with heights around 0.8m to 1.6m and the swell direction swinging to the NNE and ENE. The combined energy climbs into the moderate range (198 to 319), and the period is still short (5 to 8 seconds), so it’s not going to be quality groundswell. The wind on Wednesday 26th morning is light from the NW, but it’s a cross-shore, so expect some bump. The afternoon gets cross-onshore from the NNE, which will chop it up. This is still a marginal call—the only real standout in this whole 16-day window is the Wednesday 26th morning session, with chest-high waves (1.6m) and light wind, but it’s far from perfect and the short period means it’ll be a bit crumbly. For a decent wave, you’d need to be an expert to handle the bigger sets, but even then, it’s just okay.
The rest of the forecast is a blank. There’s a big gap of nothing from the start up until the 25th, and then only a brief, lukewarm pulse. This is one of those stretches where the forecast can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, there’s not much to recommend.
