The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the local stretch.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks look pretty quiet for the most part. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf with average conditions, so don’t expect much to get the heart pumping. The first real glimmer of something decent doesn’t roll in until around Thursday the 10th of September, and then it might be worth a paddle.
The standout is Moruya Rivermouth (Australia). The forecast points to a solid window on the morning of Thursday the 10th of September. We’re looking at some clean, glassy conditions with a light east breeze, and a clean 5ft swell from the SSE. The period is a very long 12 seconds, which is proper groundswell, and the combined energy is strong at 648. That’s a lot of grunt for a river mouth, so it should be running nicely. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, but it can get busy sometimes, so expect a few locals out. Water temp is sitting around 63°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The Friday morning the 11th of September is also worth a mention, with glassy conditions and clean 4ft SSE swell, combined energy of 392. That’s good, but the Thursday morning is the pick of the bunch.
Before that, there’s a long gap. The first few days are all poor surf with tiny waves, onshore winds, or just messy conditions. The run from the 3rd to the 7th of September is a write-off, with nothing but small, weak waves and poor conditions. The morning of Tuesday the 8th of September has a brief moment of glassy 5ft swell, but it’s a short-period windswell and the quality is marginal at best.
After the Thursday-Friday window, it drops away again. The second week (from the 12th of September onward) is mostly small, poor surf with cross-onshore winds or no energy. The forecast is pretty bleak for the rest of the run, with only a tiny pulse of 2ft swell on the 18th of September, but it’s nothing to get excited about.
So, to sum it up: if you want a wave, aim for the morning of Thursday the 10th of September at the Rivermouth. That’s the one. Everything else is a pass.
Rusty.
