The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it’s a dead spell for a long time. We’re looking at New Jetty/South Jetty, and from now until the end of the third week of August, there’s almost nothing to get excited about. The surf is tiny, the wind is messy, and the swell energy is weak. From the 14th to the 26th of August, the swell heights are tiny – mostly around 1.0 ft to 2 ft – with a mix of onshore and cross-onshore winds. The combined energy values are low, mostly in the 100 to 250 range (moderate wave energy), but the surf quality is consistently poor. You’ll see a few mornings with a light breeze and a clean-ish look, but the swell is too small to ride. The afternoons get choppy. It’s a classic long, flat stretch.
The first real sign of life comes at the very end. On Thursday the 27th of August, the morning shows a pulse of 3 ft from the S at 14 seconds, with a combined energy of 416 (moderate wave energy). The wind is light from the SSW, cross-on, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The afternoon pushes up to 3 ft from the S, but the wind goes cross-on from the W at 15 km/h, and the surf quality drops back to poor. The standout of the whole period is Friday the 28th of August morning. The swell hits 4 ft from the SSW at 13-14 seconds, with a combined energy of 704 (moderate to strong wave energy). The wind is light from the WSW, cross-on, and the forecast says it’s marginal, not a total loss. That’s your best shot – a bit of size, decent period, and the lightest wind we’ll see. Get on it early, because the afternoon stiffens up and gets messy.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report.
The rest of the run into the 29th drops back down to 3 ft, with the energy fading. No other real standouts after that Friday morning.
So, if you’re looking for a paddle, the morning of the 28th of August is your only real window. Everything else is small and choppy. It’s been a quiet spell, and it looks like it’ll stay that way. Hang tight, and check back in a few days – forecasts can change.
Rusty.
