The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch for the most part. We’ve got a whole lot of nothing worth paddling out for, with a small window of something surfable buried in the middle. The first few days are a write-off, and the end of the run is flat and poor. Let’s get into it.
The best we’re going to get lands on Tuesday, August 11th. A brief window of hope. That morning, a north wind of 9 mph goes offshore, and the swell is a clean-looking 3 ft from the south at 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (97), but the wind is the story here – it’s clean. That afternoon, the wind drops to glassy, with a light southerly of 3 mph, and you’ll find 3 ft of south swell. The water is much colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 67°, so a good wetsuit is a must. This is a very small window of clean, surfable waves, but it’s not going to be world-class. It’s a beginner-friendly beach break, and it’s very consistent, but expect crowds to be likely.
The rest of the picture is basically a long, flat, and choppy run. The first big gap runs from now through to late Monday, August 3rd, with nothing but onshore wind and messy, dangerous surf. The period from August 3rd to the 10th is a mix of small, weak swell and poor wind, often fresh and cross-onshore, making it lumpy and unappealing. The energy readings are moderate at best, but the quality is zero. From August 12th right through to the end of the run on the 17th, it’s back to tiny, weak, and mostly choppy or flat conditions. Not a paddling session in sight.
For the kite surfers out there, the period around August 3rd and 4th, with a fresh SSW wind and 7 ft+ of messy south swell, might look more interesting than it is for a surfboard.
So, to sum it up: if you’ve got nothing else to do, aim for Tuesday, August 11th, early. It’s your only real shot at something clean, but keep your expectations in check. Otherwise, it’s a long wait. The forecast can change, but right now, it’s a tough run.
Rusty.
