The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Montauk Point – Turtles.
First up, I gotta be straight with you: this is a tough outlook. We’re looking at a full 16-day window, and to be honest, it’s a long, flat, and frustrating stretch for the most part. There’s a big gap of really poor conditions from now right through to early Friday morning. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
We do get a little pulse of energy on Thursday the 10th of September. There's a 6 ft swell from the southwest pushing in, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 408, but the problem is the wind. It's a fresh 22 mph cross-offshore from the WSW which keeps it clean, but that's a lot of power for a break like this. It's a reef setup, so that longer-period groundswell is better suited here than a beach break, but 6 ft is solid and getting into expert territory. Not one for the groms, that's for sure. Still, for the experienced crew, this Thursday morning is the only real standout in the whole run.
The other potential flicker is on Friday the 11th of September morning. We get a 3 ft SSW swell with a 7-second period, combined energy at only 79 (weak), but we have a clean 12 mph offshore from the NNW. It's surfable, but very ordinary.
After that, it’s back to a long, dry spell. There’s virtually nothing rideable until a small spike on Sunday the 20th of September. That morning shows a 5 ft SW swell with a 6-second period, 169 energy (moderate), with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the west. It’s cleaner, but the period is short and it’s still just "poor surf conditions" on the cards. Not really worth getting excited about.
So, if you’re a beginner, this whole 16 days is a bust. If you're an expert and can handle a solid reef break, Thursday the 10th morning is your one shot. Otherwise, it’s a whole lot of nothing. For a kite surfer, that Thursday with a fresh cross-offshore and some size might look interesting.
Signing off,
Rusty.
