The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the local stretch for the next 16 days.
Alright, mate, it’s gonna be a real mixed bag – a whole lot of nothing with a couple of flashes of proper promise. The first week or so is pretty grim, with tiny, wind-affected slop. We’re looking at a long dry spell with no real surf on offer from Monday the 3rd of August right through to the middle of the second week. The real standout, the one that’s got my heart beating a little faster, is that Thursday morning, the 13th of August down at Moruya Rivermouth. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.
Let’s break it down. Monday the 3rd of August has some small 2ft swell from the SE, but it’s cross-off and messy. The water’s a pretty average 62°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so nothin’ to complain about there. It’s surfable, but it’s nothin’ to write home about. Tuesday the 4th through to Sunday the 9th is just a write-off – tiny waves, onshore winds, and a whole lot of frustration. The combined energy is weak, barely hitting triple digits (21 to 259), and the swell is short-period and messy.
Then we get a bit of a tease on the 13th. Thursday morning the 13th of August, that’s where it’s at. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the S, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 305, which is solid moderate energy. And the wind? Dead calm, glassy as a mirror. That’s a major positive, mate. It’s gonna be clean as a whistle. This swell is a bit short-period, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and less powerful, but for a river mouth break, that’s not the worst thing – it’ll keep the shape a bit more manageable. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but with a 6ft swell, it’s getting a bit punchy for the absolute groms, so keep your wits about you. The rest of the second week is a bit of a letdown after that, with a few smaller, cleaner mornings but nothing that competes.
The long-range calls for the 13th are a bit of a gamble, but the signs are good. Everything else is a waste of time, so get your gear ready for that Thursday morning if you can. The rest of the run is a hard pass.
Rusty.
