The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with you—this forecast is a tough one. For the better part of the next 16 days, Montauk Point - Turtles (Montauk) is looking flat and messy. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit if you’re even thinking about a paddle.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing from Thursday 6 August all the way through to Thursday 20 August. That’s a full two-week gap with no surf worth mentioning. The swell’s tiny, mostly under 3 ft, with weak energy readings mostly below 100 (combined energy of all swells directed here between 21 and 125). The period is short, around 5 to 7 seconds, so no punch or shape. Winds are cross or cross-on most days, making it choppy and messy. There are a few clean windows—like Saturday 8 August morning, Sunday 9 August morning, and Tuesday 11 August morning—but with swell that small, it’s just not worth the drive.
The real standout comes right at the end. On Friday 21 August morning, we finally see a pulse. Swell jumps to 5 ft out of the SSW, period 7 seconds, with a clean light offshore breeze from the NNW. The combined energy of all swells directed here hits 227 (moderate), which is the only decent energy in the whole 16 days. The wind is light and offshore, so the surface will be glassy. That said, at 5 ft, it’s a bit much for beginners, but intermediate surfers should have a go. The direction is SSW, which lines up nicely with the optimum SSE for this reef break. Keep in mind this is a reef, and it’s a long way out—conditions can change, so treat it as promising but not locked in.
Overall, for the next two weeks, you’re better off doing something else. The only real window is that Friday 21 August morning. If you’re keen, mark it.
Rusty.
