The Lowdown
Alright folks, I’ll level with you. If you’re looking for waves over the next two and a bit weeks, you’re going to be bummed. The surf is flat, and the conditions are mostly junk. There’s just no swell on the horizon.
The spot to watch is New Jetty/South Jetty, a fairly exposed beach break that’s fine for beginners, but there’s nothing to ride. For the entire first week, from Saturday the 8th to Friday the 14th, we’re looking at 0.4m dribble from the south-southwest. The periods are long, 13-18 seconds, but with that little energy, it’s just not doing anything. The onshore winds are making it messy, and the combined energy is weak, mostly in the 100-150 range. You’d be wasting your time.
The weekend of the 15th and 16th brings a tiny pulse. The swell gets to 0.6m, and energy jumps to 236 on Saturday morning. That’s still small, but with a 16-second period, there’s a bit of push. Winds are still cross-onshore and choppy in the afternoons, so you’d need to be out early for any sort of clean surface. It’s not great, but it’s the only chance you’ve got.
Then Monday the 17th throws a curveball. The morning is still 0.5m, but the afternoon shows 1.3m with a terrible 5-second period. That’s a short, confused windswell, not a real groundswell. It’s going to be a mess, and for a beach break, that’s a washout. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than a surfing day.
From the 18th through the 23rd, we’re back to nothing. 0.3m to 0.5m dribble, weak energy, and light cross-onshore winds. It’s flat. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t help us.
The long-period swells are better for points and reefs, but this is a beach break, so they just don’t show. Honestly, the only faint hope is Saturday the 15th, early. And even then, it’s a struggle. Long-range is promising but less certain, so let’s see. For now, keep the board in the car. It’s a dry spell.
