The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for Main Street Pier. To be honest, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and quiet. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much, so don’t get your hopes up too high just yet.
The first real chance to even get wet is on Friday morning, September 4th. We’re looking at tiny 2ft swell coming out of the east with a short, weak period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 52, so it’s barely a pulse. The wind is a light cross-off from the south at 6 mph, which will keep it clean enough for a dribbler, but that’s about it. The water is sitting at 81°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.
After that little bump, we hit a wall. From Friday afternoon all the way through to Sunday, September 6th, the surf drops off into nothing. We’re looking at 1ft or less, with combined energy under 15. It’s a proper dead spell. Monday the 7th through Wednesday the 9th don’t offer much more – just ankle-snappers around 1ft to 2ft, with the wind occasionally going glassy, but the swell is just too small to do anything with.
The next little flicker of life comes on Saturday morning, September 12th. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the east-northeast, still with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 93, and with a light cross-off wind from the west at 3 mph, it’ll be clean. It’s not a standout by any means, but it’s the best we’ve got in the whole window. The waves will be small and a bit weak, but you might find a fun little crumbler if you’re on a log.
Sunday the 13th sees a bit more size at 5ft, but the wind turns cross-on from the north, and the period is still short. The energy is moderate at 142, but it’ll be a bumpy, choppy mess.
Then we roll into the second week, and it’s just ugly. Monday the 14th brings 4ft swell but with a solid 16 mph cross-onshore wind from the east-northeast, creating a lot of chop. The energy hits 207, but it’s not surfable for paddle surfing – that’s more of a kite day if anything. The rest of the week just fades away into tiny, wind-affected slop.
So, the best of a very average bunch is Saturday morning, September 12th. It’s not a day to call in sick for, but if you’re desperate, you might score a few clean ones.
Rusty.
