The Lowdown
Right, let’s get straight into it for Main Street Pier. I’ve looked through the full 16 days and, honestly, it’s one of those periods where you’re better off leaving the board in the car for most of it. There’s no standout surf on offer here, so don’t be holding your breath for a big swell window.
The first hint of anything rideable shows up on Tuesday the 1st of September, but it’s barely a whisper. We’re talking a tiny 2 ft swell from the east with a short 8-second period, and combined energy readings are way down – in the 40s and 50s (weak). The wind is straight onshore from the ENE in the morning, then NE in the afternoon. That’s not doing this beach/pier setup any favours, so expect poor, crumbly surf. Honestly, that morning glass-off of 1 ft on Saturday the 5th with a light SSW breeze might look tempting, but it’s still just tiny knee-high slop.
Even when we get a little pulse of energy on Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd – with swell around 2 ft to 3 ft from the east-southeast and periods reaching 11 seconds – the combined energy only just climbs into the low 100s (moderate). But the cross-shore winds will chop it up. Thursday afternoon actually goes cross-off and clean, but the swell is still just 3 ft at 9 seconds. There’s some life, but nothing to get excited about.
After that first week, things just fizzle out. From Sunday the 6th right through to the end of the 16-day window, swell heights drop to 1 ft or 1 ft. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. The best you get is a weak, 1 ft windswell with a combined energy that struggles to get out of the 20s and 30s (weak). There’s a bigger-looking bump on Saturday the 12th with 3 ft from the ESE, but with a short period and cross-onshore wind, it’s just messy, poor quality.
The bottom line? There are no good surf options in this 16-day stretch. The waves are small, short-period, and nearly always messed up by the wind. If you’re a kite surfer, those gusty, onshore days with a bit of chop might be more interesting, but for a paddle surfer, this is a blank run – which is normal enough for this area. Keep an eye on the long-range forecasts, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
