The Lowdown
Imperial units
Alright, let’s break this down in proper terms. For the next couple of weeks, Moruya Rivermouth is mostly gonna be small and frustrating. From Tuesday the 11th all the way into the following week, you’re looking at ankle-to-knee high slop with short periods, hardly any energy moving. The water’s sitting about 63°F, a touch warmer than usual, but that’s about the only thing going for it. Most mornings are clean and even glassy early, but without swell, it’s just a flat paddle. The one session that stands out is the morning of Thursday the 20th of August. That’s when a 5-foot east swell rolls in with an 8-second period, glassy conditions, and light south-west breeze. Energy jumps to 322 (moderate), and the report says *expect good surf conditions*. It’s a river mouth break that’s fairly consistent, and with the west offshore wind it’ll be lined up. Friday the 21st morning is also good – similar 5-foot east swell, longer 10-second period, glassy – but Thursday morning looks the best. This spot is exposed to swell from the southeast, which isn’t the best direction, but the east groundswell should wrap in okay. Just know the sets will be slower between waves. Crowds can show up when there’s decent size, and this is the only decent window in the whole outlook.
Rusty out.
