The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, checking in on the South Coast. Look, it’s been a quiet spell, and it’s gonna stay that way for a while. We’re looking at a bit of a dry run from now until we finally see some life pop up again on Saturday the 22nd of August. That’s nearly a two-week lull, so don’t be holding your breath.
The best of the whole window is shaping up on Sunday the 23rd of August, down at Moruya Rivermouth. It’s a river mouth setup, exposed to the swell, and fairly consistent. The water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a little bonus. Sunday morning you’ll see a solid 6ft of swell coming out of the northeast with a period of 9 seconds, and a combined energy reading of 976 (moderate to strong). On top of that, we’ve got a light breeze and cross-off wind – clean conditions. That afternoon holds up nice too, with 7ft of northeast swell and 877 energy (still strong), and the wind swinging to a light cross-off from the west-southwest. This is the pick of the fortnight, no doubt. Swell size is getting up there for the bigger sets, so it might be a little much for absolute beginners, but for anyone comfortable in the 6ft range, this is on.
Before that, you’ve got nothing worth paddling out for until Saturday the 22nd. That morning shows 5ft of east-northeast swell at 10 seconds, with 513 energy (moderate), but it’s cross-shore wind and only marginal. The afternoon bumps up to 8ft from the east-northeast, but the period drops to 6 seconds, and while the wind is clean cross-off, the energy is still only 451 (moderate). It’s a bit meh, and I wouldn’t be rushing.
The whole second week is a write-off otherwise. From Monday the 24th, it gets messy with onshore wind and chop. Not worth a second look.
So, keep your gear dry for a bit. There’s light at the end of the tunnel, but it’s a long tunnel. Sunday the 23rd at the Rivermouth is the standout, but it’s a long-range call – promising, but less certain.
Rusty.
