The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and knots for you.
First ten days or so are a total bust. From Thursday the 10th through to Saturday the 19th of September, it’s mostly flat to tiny. We’re talking about 1ft or less, and the wind is all over the place. Combined energy is in the teens or twenties – weak, weak, weak. A few glassy mornings pop up, like Saturday the 12th and Thursday the 17th, but with the swell at barely 1ft, it’s just a lake. Not worth the drive.
Then the smoke clears. The real action kicks off on Sunday the 20th of September. The morning brings a solid 8ft SSE swell with a period of 11 seconds, and a combined energy of 1267 – that’s a proper pulse. Wind is clean cross-offshore from the NNE at 9 mph. This is for experienced surfers only. On a beach/sandbar, that long period will make the waves jack up fast and hollow. Crowds are often here, so be ready to share.
The next morning, Monday the 21st, is another winner. The swell drops to about 5ft from the SE at 10 seconds, but the wind goes glassy – dead calm. Combined energy is still a solid 868. That’s your best bet for a clean, powerful session without the Sunday size. Still not for beginners though. Water temp is about normal for the season.
After that, it’s back to the usual junk. The 22nd through the 25th sees smaller, jumbled swell and fresh onshore winds from the south. Nothing to write home about.
So here’s the call: suffer through the long flat spell, and lock in Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st of September. Those are your only two standouts.
Rusty.
