The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a bit of a slow start to the forecast window, but there’s a clean little window of opportunity coming up next week that’s worth circling on the calendar.
For the first few days, it’s pretty ordinary. Friday the 7th has tiny 2ft SE swell with a short 9-second period, and while the morning is glassy, it’s just not enough to get excited about. Saturday the 8th is similar – glassy morning but only 2ft and 1ft, barely a ripple. Sunday the 9th sees a bump in size to 3ft ENE, but the wind is messy and cross-shore, so it’s not doing us any favours.
The first real standout comes on Monday the 10th. Moruya Rivermouth will see a 6ft ENE swell pushing in the morning, with a 9-second period and moderate wave energy (504). The wind is cross-off and clean, so it’ll be tidy. By Monday afternoon, the swell drops to 5ft from the NE, but the wind turns offshore from the west at 25 km/h, with moderate energy (363). That’s the pick of the whole outlook – clean, offshore, and decent size. It’s a river mouth break, so it can handle a bit of energy, and with the offshore wind, it’ll be lined up nicely. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit choice is a bit more forgiving.
From Tuesday the 11th onward, it drops right back. Tuesday morning has 2ft, and by Wednesday it’s 2ft to 3ft, all clean but tiny. Thursday the 13th is a write-off with 1ft, and even though Friday the 14th has a 3ft S swell with a 10-second period and clean cross-off wind, it’s only moderate energy (205). Saturday the 15th through to the end of the window is mostly small, choppy, or onshore, with nothing worth paddling out for. The morning of Sunday the 16th is glassy but only 2ft, and the rest is a mix of tiny waves and poor conditions.
So, the clear standout is Monday the 10th – especially the afternoon with that offshore wind and 5ft NE swell. If you’re after a session, that’s the one. The rest of the week is a waiting game. Stay keen, and keep an eye on the forecasts – you never know when a change will roll in.
Rusty.
