The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Well, it’s a bit of a slow burn this stretch, so don’t go rushing down to the beach expecting much for the first few days. The opening week is pretty flat and messy, with only tiny, weak waves and a lot of onshore junk. We’re looking at a real quiet spell until things finally start to wake up around Monday the 10th. That’s when we get our first proper pulse of energy, and the winds finally swing offshore, cleaning things right up. It’s nothing huge, but it’s a real change from the dribble we’ve been seeing.
The standout of the whole run looks like Monday afternoon, the 10th of August, at Moruya Rivermouth. We’re looking at a solid 5ft of east-northeast swell with a moderate offshore breeze. The energy reading jumps to 466, which is a big step up from the weak stuff we’ve had all week, and it’s going to be clean. This is the one to make time for if you can. The morning of that same day is a bit smaller and windier, but the afternoon is where it’s at. For a river mouth, this is prime.
After that, Tuesday the 11th holds some fun, clean surf in the 4ft range with a light cross-offshore breeze, but it’s a step down. The week after that gets a bit patchy again, with more average conditions and a few choppy days. The winds are all over the place. We get a glassy morning on Tuesday the 18th with a 4ft south-east swell, and that looks pretty good. Then, the following morning, Wednesday the 19th, looks even more promising. The swell holds around 4ft but the period stretches out to 12 seconds, giving it some real push and shape. With glassy conditions, that’s going to be a clean, lined-up morning at the rivermouth. It’s a bit further out, so keep it in the back of your mind, but it could be a ripper.
The water temp is sitting around 62°, which is about normal for this time of year, so a good hood is still your friend. In short, don’t waste your time this week. The call is for Monday the 10th and those two mornings in the second week. Just remember, the long-range stuff is promising but not set in stone. Keep an eye on it.
Rusty out.
