The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming down the line for the next couple of weeks. I'll be honest with you, it's a slow start, so don't be in a rush to grab your board just yet.
Right now and for the next week, we are looking at a serious flat spell. From Sunday the 23rd of August all the way through to Sunday the 30th of August, it's essentially a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7 ft to 2 ft from the east, and the wave energy is practically nothing (27 to 59). That's not surf, that's a lake. We do get a few glassy or clean windows early on, like Sunday morning with a gentle offshore breeze, but there's just no water moving. Don't bother.
We finally see a pulse of life kick in around Monday the 31st of August. The morning shows a glimmer of hope with a 2 ft east swell, glassy conditions, and the wave energy starting to creep up (59). It's still pretty ordinary, but at least it's surfable. Tuesday the 1st of September morning is much the same – 2 ft east swell, glassy, with energy hitting 136. It’s not going to blow your mind, but you could get a few knee-high rollers if you're desperate.
The first real standout, and I mean the only one worth circling on your calendar, arrives on Wednesday the 2nd of September. Wednesday morning looks like the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a 3 ft east swell with a 12-second period, which is a nice long-period groundswell bringing in some proper energy (216). The wind is glassy, coming from the SSW, so Main Street Pier should be clean and lined up. This is the one session to aim for. The afternoon gets ruined by a cross-shore wind, so make sure you're on it first thing.
After that, things drop back into mediocrity. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th of September offer small, clean-ish waves in the mornings (3 ft to 3 ft), but the energy is moderate (127 to 134) and the wind isn't perfect. Saturday the 5th of September is similar, with small 2 ft waves and clean conditions, but it’s just not got the same grunt as Wednesday. After that, we’re looking at a return to small, wind-affected junk from Sunday the 6th onwards, with onshore winds and dropping energy.
So, to sum it up: suffer through the next week of flatness. Your only real shot at a decent paddle is Wednesday the 2nd of September, early morning. Don't be late.
Rusty.

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.
