The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s cooking in the water.
Honestly, the first few days are a bit of a bust. Things are small and mostly messy until we get to Tuesday the 15th. That’s where the one real window sits, so let’s focus there.
The session to aim for is Tuesday morning the 15th of September at Moruya Rivermouth. A clean 4ft swell out of the S, with glassy conditions – dead calm. That’s as good as it gets for a beginner-friendly spot like this. The water is about 63°F, which is normal for this time of year, and the combined swell energy is a solid moderate 228. Expect clean little waves and a bit of company, because everyone will want a piece of that.
After that, Tuesday afternoon gets messy as the wind picks up, and Wednesday the 16th brings a solid 7ft to 8ft S swell with strong wind. The energy jumps way up (451 to 900), but that size is for experienced surfers only. Thursday the 17th still has a powerful 7ft S swell with combined energy over 1000, but the wind is light and cross-shore, so it’s not clean.
From Friday the 18th, the surf pretty much dries up. For over a week, most days are under 3ft, often with bad wind or onshore chop. There’s a faint hope on Friday the 25th morning with a glassy 3ft NE swell, but it’s weak and short period. Not much to get excited about.
So bottom line: Tuesday morning 15th September is the clear winner in this 16-day stretch. After that, it’s a long quiet spell. Get it while you can.
Rusty.
