The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming up for Main Street Pier over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a lean stretch. The forecast is pretty quiet, and we’re in for a long wait before anything even gets close to rideable.
The trouble starts now. For the first ten days, from Wednesday August 26th right through to Friday September 4th, it’s a dead zone. We’re looking at tiny swell, mostly around 0.7 ft to 2 ft. The wave energy is weak, sitting between 22 and just 94, so there’s nothing doing. Winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, making it even messier. You’ll see a glassy morning on August 28th (Friday) with a clean surface and light S winds, but with only 1 ft of east swell of 9 seconds, it’s still a write-off. Just not enough water moving.
Things tease us a little on Saturday September 5th. The morning shows a glimmer of hope – glassy conditions and surfable waves, though very ordinary, with a 3 ft NE swell at a snappy 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 73, but it's still super weak. The wind is glassy at first, but that’s about it for the standouts. There’s nothing here that qualifies as a true winner for the whole forecast period.
Up to 3 ft – 4 ft of short-period swell starts filtering in from the east and northeast from September 6th into the second week, but the wind stays cross-onshore or onshore, turning it into a choppy, bumpy mess. By Tuesday September 8th, energy hits 197, which is better, but with onshore NE winds at 9 mph, the quality won’t be there. The swell direction is ENE, but our optimum is NE, so it’s slightly off angle for the pier.
The last morning in the outlook, Thursday September 10th, looks clean and glassy with a light NNW breeze, but it’s a tiny 2 ft NE swell at 5 seconds – that’s whitewash territory. A small sign of life for a dawn session if you’re desperate, but nothing to get excited about. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Honestly, this is a blank run for the area. No real standouts, just a couple of mornings that might be worth a paddle if you’re bored, but the gear can stay in the shed for most of it.

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.
