The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming for this stretch of coast.
Honestly, the next week and a half is pretty grim. From Monday the 14th all the way through Tuesday the 22nd, it’s mostly flat. Tiny swells, hardly any energy, and the wind is usually blowing the wrong way. A few mornings might look glassy, but there's just no swell to ride. It's a long, quiet period with nothing doing.
The first real chance shows up on Wednesday the 23rd of September, in the afternoon. A new SSE swell rolls in around 4ft, with a 12-second period. The combined energy hits a solid moderate 506, so there’s some real push behind it. Winds are light and cross-off from the NNE, keeping the surface clean. For a beach/sandbar setup, that longer-period groundswell should offer some decent shape, though it might close out a bit on the banks. Still, this is the clear standout of the whole run.
Thursday the 24th gets blown out by strong S winds, and Friday the 25th morning cleans up again with glassy conditions, but the swell drops off fast. The last real highlight comes on Sunday the 27th of September, in the afternoon. A 6ft SSE swell rolls in, period of 6 seconds, with a moderate energy of 288. Winds go offshore from the NW, giving you clean lines. That size is getting up there for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, it’s a solid session.
The water is sitting at 63°F, just a touch below average for the season. Nothing extreme, just that early spring chill.
If you’re waiting for a wave, circle Wednesday the 23rd afternoon. That’s the one to go for.
