The Lowdown
Alright, let me break it down for Main Street Pier.
For the next week or so, it’s pretty flat and blown out. Waves are tiny, mostly 1 to 2 feet, and the wind is coming from the wrong direction—onshore and cross-onshore. The wave energy is weak, usually in the 20 to 40 range. It’s a tough time for a paddle surfer, that’s for sure.
The one bright spot comes on Tuesday, September 22nd. That morning, we see a bump to 4 feet from the ENE with an 8-second period. The combined energy hits 207 (moderate wave energy), and the wind shifts to a light WSW at 3 mph, giving us a nice cross-offshore flow. That’ll clean the waves right up. That’s your window—clean and rideable. But it doesn’t last. By Tuesday afternoon the wind swings back onshore and it gets messy again.
From Wednesday, September 23rd through the end of the month, the swell stays between 4 and 6 feet from the ENE or E, but the wind is almost always onshore from the NE or NNE at 10 to 15 mph. That means choppy, bumpy surf. The combined energy gets strong, sometimes over 300 and even hitting 665 on the 26th, but without decent wind, it’s no good for paddling. With that much swell and strong onshore wind at a beach/pier setup, this is looking more like a kite-surfing spot than a surf spot.
Water temperature is about 83°F, which is normal for this time of year.
So the takeaway: Tuesday morning, September 22nd, is your only real shot. After that, it’s a long stretch of wind-affected surf. Keep checking the forecast, but right now, don’t hold your breath.
