The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, and the South Coast is looking quiet. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing before the first real chance to get wet.
The first surfable day is Thursday, September 17th. Moruya Rivermouth has a 1.5m swell from the south-southeast with a 9-second period. The wind is light cross-on from the east-northeast at 5 km/h. The energy is moderate at 347. It’s not clean, and the tide might mess with it, but it’s the best of a poor run. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
Before that, Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are duds. Tuesday morning has a tiny 1.1m south swell (6 seconds) with cross-on wind and weak energy (218). The arvo is a disaster with 2.4m south-southeast swell and 25 km/h cross-winds making a chop fest (586 energy). Wednesday is cleaner but still no good.
From Friday the 18th to Sunday the 20th, the swell drops to almost nothing—0.8m, 0.5m, then 0.2m. Energy goes as low as 11. Clean conditions on Sunday arvo with offshore wind, but no waves. That’s a three-day flat spell.
Monday the 21st brings a 1.4m south-southeast swell with a short 7-second period and light cross-on wind (204 energy). Still marginal. Tuesday the 22nd is similar with 1.0m from the south-southeast (10 seconds) and light cross-shore wind (226 energy).
Wednesday the 23rd arvo is nasty: 2.5m from the northeast with 35 km/h cross-on winds (704 energy). Too big and messy for anyone.
The real standout is Sunday, September 27th. The morning has 1.2m from the east-southeast (6 seconds) with cross-off winds from the north-northwest at 15 km/h. The energy is moderate (264), and the conditions are clean. It’s the only session that looks genuinely fun. The swell is small, but with offshore winds, the Rivermouth will have some fun little waves. Monday the 28th morning is also clean with 0.9m from the east-northeast and cross-off winds, but the energy is lower (187). After that, it fades.
So, mark Sunday the 27th. It’s a week and a half away, so don’t bet the farm, but it’s your best shot. The Rivermouth can be inconsistent, but when it’s clean and small, it’s a good wave for beginners. Crowds are possible.
Stay patient, and check back.
