The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s looking pretty flat and quiet. There are tiny waves around if you’re really itching for a paddle, but nothing that’s going to make you skip work. The only spot in the conversation is New Jetty/South Jetty, and even it’s having a rough time.
There’s a big gap from now with no real surf to speak of. The first few days are a total write-off – tiny, weak swell with onshore winds making a mess of things. The combined swell energy is on the low side of moderate, and the wave comment is "poor surf conditions" the whole way.
Water temp is about normal for the time of year.
The first little blip of hope comes around Saturday, September 20th. The swell picks up a hair to about 2 ft from the SW. The real thing to note is the period stretching out to 18 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell. It can bring some decent shape, but on a jetty/beach setup like this, it might break too straight and be tricky. The combined energy gets up to 247 (moderate to strong) on the Sunday afternoon, but it’s still marked as poor. The wind is light and onshore from the WSW, so it won’t be clean. This is a beginner-friendly spot, but even beginners will find it tough. Crowds are possible if the sun’s out.
The morning of Monday, September 21st sees the highest combined energy of the whole forecast at 259 (strong), with a 2 ft SW swell and a 17-second period. Still, the wind is onshore and the wave comment is "poor." The long period and tiny size mean it’ll be a contest between weak energy and long waits. It’s not a standout, just the least ugly day in an ugly run.
Forget the second week – it’s a slow fade-out. Swell drops back to 1 ft, periods shorten, and the combined energy drops into the low 100s. The same story of light onshore breezes and poor conditions repeats.
If you’ve got a kite, the beach setup here might be more interesting than a surfboard in these conditions, as the wind is light and mostly onshore.
The standout, if I had to pick one, is the Monday, September 21st morning. That’s your best bet for the biggest, most prolonged one, but be ready for long lulls and a messy surface. It’s not a classic, just a rare little pulse in a dead-flat run.
