The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s pretty bleak out there for a while. We’re looking at a long dry spell with nothing worth paddling out for. From now, through most of the first week and into the start of September, we’re stuck with tiny, messy waves that just aren’t gonna get the job done. You’re looking at close to ten days of flat to knee-high slop, with a mix of cross-shore and cross-off winds that might keep the surface clean but won’t do anything for the lack of push. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least it’ll be a warm wait.
Things finally start to stir on Thursday the 3rd of September. Mona Liza Point, which is a beginner-friendly reef and point set-up, will start to see a pulse. On Thursday afternoon, we get a 4ft swell rolling in from the west with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 293, and the cross-off wind out of the south at 12 mph will keep it glassy and clean. It’s still marginal – only scoring a 1 out of 10 – so don’t expect magic, but it’s the first real sign of life.
The standout window looks like Friday the 4th of September. Morning brings the biggest push of the run: 5ft of west swell, period at 9 seconds, and combined energy hitting 454, which is solid moderate. The wind stays a clean cross-off from the south at 12 mph. That’s the best combo we’ve seen in this whole stretch. It’s still on the edge of being too big for total beginners at that height, but for a point break with offshore winds, this is the session to aim for. Afternoon sees a slight drop to 5ft with a light breeze, but the wind swings a little cross, so the morning is your pick.
Saturday the 5th drops right back off into tiny stuff, and then Sunday the 6th of September throws a bigger but messier option. You get 8ft of west swell in the morning, period at 10 seconds, and combined energy way up at 1216 – that’s strong to very strong energy. For a reef and point like Mona Liza, that’s expert territory. It’s clean with cross-off winds, so if you’ve got the chops, it could be a wild one, but for the average surfer, that’s a day to watch from the rocks.
Monday the 7th of September is your last call, with a 5ft west-northwest swell, still clean and cross-off, but the energy drops to 358, and it’s a step down in quality. After that, it fades back to nothing.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a wave, Friday the 4th of September is the standout. That morning session at Mona Liza Point with 5ft west swell and clean south cross-off winds is your best bet. For the real crew, Sunday the 6th offers a bigger, more powerful option, but that one’s for experienced surfers only.
Signing off, Rusty.
