The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. It's a bit of a slow start for Montauk Point – Turtles. The next 16 days, honestly, there's a long stretch of nothing doing. The first real chance for a paddle doesn't come around until Friday the 25th of September. Before that, we're looking at two full weeks of small, weak, and messy conditions where the wind just won't play ball.
Let's be real, this is a tough run. From Friday the 11th right through to the 24th, the waves are tiny with poor surf conditions. The energy is way down – we're talking readings between 18 and 95 (weak wave energy) for most of it, nothing that gets the heart racing. The wind is all over the shop, mostly cross-onshore or cross, making things choppy and lumpy. There's a tiny window Sunday afternoon the 13th where the wind goes light offshore from the NW with a 3ft swell, but it's short period (6 seconds) and the comment says it's surfable but very ordinary, so I wouldn't get excited. The rest is a write-off.
Now, fast forward to Friday the 25th of September. This is our only standout. The morning session is looking decent. We've got a clean 4ft swell coming from the ESE with a moderate offshore breeze from the NNW. The period is 9 seconds, so it'll have a bit of shape. The combined energy hits 206 (moderate wave energy), which is a real step up from the doldrums. This is the one to circle if you can wait. The water temp is around 69° which is about normal for this time of year. The offshore wind should make for some nice, clean lines on this reef break. It's a break that can get a few heads, so don't expect it to be empty.
After that, the Saturday the 26th gets blown out by a strong breeze, so Friday is definitely the play.
Rusty.
