The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty back with the same look in feet and miles. This is a rough one for New Jetty/South Jetty. We’re staring down a long, quiet period with nothing worth paddling out for in the first week.
The first real sniff of surf comes on Sunday, September 6th. It’s tiny, with swell around 3ft from the S, and a 14-second period. The energy is moderate at 545, but the wave comment says “marginal.” You’ll have a light cross-onshore breeze from the WSW, which will put a bit of a texture on the water. It’s small and weak, and you’ll be scratching for anything.
Monday, September 7th sees a bump in size to 4ft from the S, and the energy jumps to a strong 601-627. But the wind is the story here. A strong ESE cross-offshore breeze at 37 mph in the morning, switching to a moderate SE cross-shore in the afternoon with heavy rain. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions.” The wind is going to ruin the surface. This setup looks better for kiting than surfing.
The rest of the 16-day window is a letdown. Swell drops back to 1ft to 3ft, and the energy falls into the low hundreds, even the 70s. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, so nothing’s getting cleaned up. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
If you’re really determined, the best moment is probably the afternoon of Sunday, September 6th. The swell is 4ft from the S with a 15-second period (a nice groundswell), and the wind is light and onshore at 6 mph. Energy is still a strong 536. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the cleanest option in a very messy forecast.
For the rest of the run, it’s tiny, choppy, and flat. The data says “poor surf conditions” for almost every session. It’s a good time to check the gear or wait for the next update.
Rusty.
