The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's in store for the local stretch.
First up, we're looking at New Jetty/South Jetty. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
The next two weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but there's a real standout session if you're patient. The early part of the forecast is a bit of a write-off. From Wednesday 2nd September right through to Friday 4th, we've got tiny, weak swell (combined energy 121 to 344) and poor surf conditions, so it's a solid 'stay home' period. The breeze is onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of the small waves.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th. Saturday morning sees a little bit of life with 2 ft of swell from the S, but it's still rated as marginal. The real magic happens on Sunday afternoon, 6th September. The wind drops to glassy, flat calm, and we get a clean 3 ft of swell from the S, with a period of 14 seconds. That's a nice, long-period groundswell. The combined energy (389) is still moderate, but with glassy conditions, that's your best bet for a fun, clean session this week. The swell is small enough for beginners and the long period will make for some nice shaped waves, but being a jetty, it should handle it well.
Monday 7th September sees the swell pick up to 4 ft - 4 ft from the S (combined energy 602), but it's all on the cross-onshore wind, so you'll be battling a bit of chop. Then it's back to a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions from Tuesday 8th September onwards. The swell drops right off, with the combined energy falling to 73 and lower by the end of the run. The wind is pretty much always onshore or cross-onshore, making it a tough grind for the paddle surfer.
The absolute standout is that Sunday 6th September afternoon. It's the only glassy window in the whole forecast, and the 3 ft S swell at 14 seconds will be clean and fun. The rest of the outlook is pretty grim until the middle of the second week, but that one session should be worth chasing. As for crowds, the break can get a bit busy sometimes, but with the conditions being so poor for days before and after, it might be a little quieter than normal.
Rusty.
