The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Montauk Point – Turtles. This is a reef setup that needs a good southerly angle to fire, and it’s exposed to the open ocean. The water is running a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 68°, so you might want a spring suit if you’re heading out.
The first half of this 16-day window is a tough slog. From Sunday the 2nd right through to the end of the first week, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, gusty, and the swell is either tiny, short-period, or just plain messy. The combined swell energy is weak, often under 100. It’s a write-off.
We finally get a brief window of hope on Tuesday morning, the 4th. The wind swings around to the northwest, glassy as can be, and the swell comes up to 5 ft from the south with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 247, which is moderate. This is the standout moment. The water will be clean, the waves will have some shape, and the crowd factor is there, but with conditions this good, you’ll be happy to share the lineup. This is the best on offer.
After that, the wind shifts back onshore or cross-shore again, and the swell drops off. The 8th of August morning shows a small clean window with 3 ft swell and light offshore wind, but the energy is low. It’s surfable, but it’s not going to get your heart racing.
The second week is a bit of a mixed bag. The 11th has a morning with clean conditions and 4 ft swell, but the period is short and the energy is only 151. The 15th and 16th have some swell, but the wind is onshore or cross, making it messy. For the most part, the energy stays low, and the quality is poor. There’s a small window on the 16th morning with 4 ft swell and clean conditions, but it’s nothing special.
In short, you’ve got one real shot: Tuesday the 4th, early morning. Get there before the wind turns. Otherwise, it’s a long wait for the next decent swell.
Rusty.
