The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and quiet around here. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell and less-than-ideal winds, so don’t expect much action. We’re talking a solid gap with hardly anything worth paddling out for until things maybe perk up in the second week, but even that’s a long shot.
Alright, let’s start with the only real window that’s even worth a look. Sunday morning, September 6th, at New Jetty/South Jetty, we’ve got a small but rideable 3ft swell coming from the south, with a period of 13 seconds. That’s a decent groundswell, so the waves should have a bit of shape and energy, but the combined energy is only moderate at 393, so don't expect any bombs. The wind is light from the southwest at 3 mph and blowing straight onshore, which is a bummer. It’s going to be a bit bumpy. Still, for a beginner spot that’s fairly consistent, this is about as good as it gets in this forecast. The water temp is pretty average for this time of year. After Sunday morning, it goes downhill fast. By Sunday afternoon, the wind picks up to 6 mph and the conditions turn poor.
From Monday, September 7th, right through to Saturday, September 12th, the surf stays small, mostly 1ft to 3ft, with onshore and cross-onshore winds ruining any chance of clean waves. The swell direction shifts around, but the period drops on Saturday to a weak 6 to 8 seconds, which is just junky windswell. The combined energy stays in the low to mid 100s and 200s – weak stuff. Honestly, it’s a write-off.
Then from Sunday, September 13th, all the way to the end of the forecast on Monday, September 21st, we’re looking at tiny surf, mostly 1ft to 2ft. The period does get long again, over 15 seconds at times, but with that little height, it’s not going to break properly. The combined energy drops into the double digits and low 100s – very weak. Winds are mostly light and onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s just messy and small.
There’s no standout period here. If you’re desperate for a splash, Sunday morning is your only real shot, and even then, keep your expectations low. This is a blank run for the area, and it happens. Forecasts can always change, but for now, don’t bother waxing up.
Rusty.
