The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the menu for Montauk Point - Turtles over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell for the most part. We're looking at a long stretch of days with very little to get excited about. The first real whisper of anything surfable shows up on Monday, September 7th, but it's a tease at best. The rest of the period is mostly filled with poor surf and messy conditions.
The best bet across the entire 16-day window is Thursday, September 10th. On the morning of the 10th, we've got a clean, offshore wind from the WSW blowing at 15 mph, which is a major positive. The swell is coming in from the SSW at 5 ft, with a moderate combined energy of 209. It's not a monster, but it's the most energy we've seen, and the conditions look the most promising for scoring a few clean ones. After that, the window closes back up, with a few more days of small, choppy, or wind-affected waves.
The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year, so no need to worry about a wetsuit change just yet.
The only other window that even gets a mention is the morning of the 1st of October. On the 17th of September, Thursday morning, the swell bumps up to 6 ft from the East, with a combined energy of 199. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the West, so it could be clean, but it's still a long way out and the overall quality is described as very ordinary. It's a bit of a wait-and-see situation.
So, there you have it. If you're looking for a paddle, the 10th of September is your best shot. For the rest, it's a good time to wax the longboard or just enjoy the beach.
Rusty.
