The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it: the next couple weeks are gonna be a grind. We’ve got a long flat spell ahead, and unless you’re keen on a really small wave session, you might be better off staying home.
Right now, through about the 19th, we’re looking at tiny surf—mostly around 1ft to 3ft—with weak energy readings mostly in the low 100s. The winds are light and sometimes offshore, which is good for the surface, but there’s just no push. It’s gonna be a lot of waiting around.
The one real bright spot is Sunday the 20th. The energy finally jumps—251 in the morning, climbing to 322 by the afternoon. That’s the strongest we’ll see for a while, with the swell coming from the SW at 2ft and a period of 18 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, so the waves will have some shape, but at this size, it’s still pretty small. The wind is light and offshore, so it should be clean. If you’re only gonna go out once, that’s the day.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. The rest of the week from the 21st through the 27th is more of the same—weak, small surf, mostly 1ft to 2ft. The water is sitting at 72°F, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year, over 7°F warmer than usual, so at least the water will feel nice.
Honestly, if you’re a seasoned surfer, this is pretty dull. The small offshore mornings might be okay for a beginner, but there’s nothing with any power. For everyone else, I’d say wait. Long-range forecasts can change, and this kind of flat spell doesn’t usually last forever. Keep watching the charts.
Rusty, out.
