The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks down at the Moruya Rivermouth. To be honest, the first week and a half is pretty grim – a lot of small, choppy, onshore junk. We're looking at a solid gap from now until around Tuesday, the 22nd of September, where there’s barely a wave worth paddling for. The water’s sitting at about 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you sit there waiting for a wave that never comes.
Right, so the first real sniff of something happens on the morning of Monday, the 21st of September, but it’s mostly poor conditions. Then, we finally get a standout window on Tuesday morning, the 22nd of September. The Rivermouth is expecting a clean 5 ft swell from the south with a solid 10-second period, and the wind is set to be glassy. That’s the pick of the bunch, and with that moderate wave energy (550), it’ll have a bit of push. The southeast direction is okay for the spot, but the clean conditions will make it worth the wait.
The following week gets interesting, albeit a bit more of a late call. On Thursday morning, the 24th of September, we’ve got some clean 5 ft waves from the ENE (217), but it's a bit of a punt that far out. The real eyebrow-raiser is Friday morning, the 25th of September, with a solid 8 ft wall of ENE swell (877). That’s too big for beginners and getting into expert-only territory. The wind is light and onshore, so the surface will be a bit lumpy. It’s a powerful, long-range possibility, but keep your fingers crossed that the wind shifts.
So, the one true standout is the Tuesday morning glass-off. After that, the 8 ft Friday is the only other thing that has any sort of grunt, but treat it as a long-range promise.
Rusty.
