Menakoz Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Menakoz has cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.

We’re kicking off with a slow start. The first few days are flat and messy, so don’t hold your breath for the 26th or 27th. The swell is tiny, around 1ft to 3ft, and the wind is all over the place. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – a real welcome surprise.

Things start to get interesting around Friday the 28th. The morning sees the swell push up to 5ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 255 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-off, so it’s clean. It’s not a standout session, but it’s a sign of life.

Now, Saturday the 29th morning is where we get our first real highlight. The swell holds at 5ft from the NW, period 9 seconds, with a combined energy of 336 (moderate). The wind is glassy – absolutely dead calm. That’s going to make for some beautiful, clean faces at this reef break. It’s an expert spot, so you need to know what you’re doing, and expect crowds as it’s often busy. The offshore wind direction (SSE) is a bonus, cleaning it right up. This is the best of the first week, hands down.

Sunday the 30th morning is very similar – 5ft NW swell, 9-second period, glassy conditions, and energy at 325. Another chance for some clean, lined-up waves before the afternoon wind kills it.

Monday the 1st of September morning is also a glassy one, with the swell a touch bigger at 6ft from the NW and energy at 447 (still moderate). The period is 9 seconds. This is a good, solid morning for the experienced crew.

After that, the second week gets a bit flaky. We have a few glassy mornings like Wednesday the 3rd and Tuesday the 8th, but the swell drops off. The 8th of September morning is notable: a 5ft NW swell with a 10-second period, completely glassy, and energy at 396. That’s a promising, clean session, but it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it.

Overall, the standout is the Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th mornings. Clean, glassy, solid NW swell at a classic reef – that’s the window to circle. For the rest, it’s a mix of average conditions and small waves, with a few clean windows in the second week that are worth watching but aren’t locked in.

Rusty out.
