The Lowdown
Tuesday morning brings in a clean, waist-high 0.9m swell from the SSE with a nice 11-second period. The wind will be light and cross-off from the WNW at just 5 km/h, which is a good sign, and the combined swell energy is a moderate 345. It’s a solid start after a blank couple of days, and the staleness should be gone. The water temp is sitting at 18°, feeling a touch warmer than usual.
The real standout pushes through on Thursday morning, August 13th. The swell jumps up to a clean 1.6m from the south, and the wind is completely dead – glassy from the SSW at 0 km/h. That’s the kind of morning you wake up for. Combined energy hits a moderate 390, and it’s an exposed spot, so that south swell will wrap in nicely. This is the best of the first week without a doubt.
The week after that has a few ups and downs. Sunday morning, August 16th, shows a 1.0m south swell at 12 seconds with clean conditions from a gentle SSW wind, energy at 330. Tuesday morning, August 18th, sees the swell back up to a clean 1.5m from the ESE with a light cross-off breeze, energy at 234. Glassy conditions return on Wednesday morning, August 19th, but with only 0.8m on offer.
Looking further out, there’s a promising but less certain run starting Friday morning, August 21st. The swell comes up to 1.6m from the northeast with glassy conditions and a moderate combined energy of 392. Monday morning, August 24th, is another glassy morning with a 1.3m ENE swell and a solid 355 energy.
Then Tuesday morning, August 25th, shows a powerful spike: a 2.4m ENE swell with very strong combined energy of 1121. That’s a lot of water moving, but the period is just 8 seconds, and the wind is a strong cross-off from the SSW at 25 km/h. At that size, it’s only for the experts, and the short period might make it a bit of a washout at the beach. Definitely worth a look if you’re comfortable in heavy, lumpy conditions, but not a beginner’s day.
Crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so with the standouts, you might see a few other locals around.
So, my pick of the whole 16 days? Thursday, August 13th morning. That 1.6m of clean, glassy south swell is the one to circle on the calendar.
Stay salty,
Rusty.
