The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a long stretch of the calendar to look at for New Jetty/South Jetty.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you – the whole 16-day outlook is a bit of a flat spell. The water is a warm 70°F, which is a full 6°F warmer than usual – that’s a very unusual anomaly for this time of year. It’s like the ocean forgot to swap out its summer wardrobe.
The first real chance to get wet is on Wednesday, September 9th, but it’s not going to be a classic. The swell is a tiny 1 ft from the SW with a long period of 19 seconds, giving a weak combined energy of 170. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’ll be bumpy. The wave comment is “poor surf conditions,” so don’t expect much.
Thursday the 10th sees a bit more push with 2 ft from the SSW and a 17-second period, combining for moderate energy (219), but it’s still cross-on. The quality is still poor.
Friday the 11th through the 13th keep the pattern going: small SW swell, 1 ft to 3 ft, with offshore winds, but the period drops from 16 seconds down to 9 seconds. The energy is moderate but weakens. The wave comment stays “poor surf conditions.” The surf is just too small and short-period to do anything with.
It’s a grind through the second week. From the 14th of September through to the 24th, we’re in the same boat. Swell hovers around 1.0 ft to 2 ft, mostly from the SW or SSW. The period ranges from 14 to 19 seconds, but the energy is weak (mostly 110 to 207). The wind is often light and offshore, but it’s cross-on or onshore enough to keep it messy. The wave comment for every single session is “poor surf conditions.”
There’s no standout session here. The swell is too small to generate any real quality, and the wind is never clean enough to make the most of it. This setup looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard right now.
Honestly, this is a blank run. For a break that’s fairly consistent, it’s an unusual lull, but forecasts can change.
Rusty.
