The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good hard look at what’s coming down the pipe. Fair warning: this one’s a bit of a slow burner, so keep your expectations in check.
To start, the next week and a half looks pretty flat and uninspiring. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak surf with rubbish period and iffy wind. Honestly, from now through to around the 14th of September, it’s a write-off for anything worth paddling out for. You’ll see a lot of high-energy numbers in brackets, but the swell heights just aren’t there, and the wind is rarely your friend. It’s one of those quiet runs that happens here – not much to get excited about.
Now, if you’re patient, there’s a little pulse on Monday the 7th of September. Newdicks Beach (beach and reef) starts showing some life. Early morning we’ve got a 6ft swell out of the north, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of (409). The wind is a light cross-off from the west at 6 mph, so it’s going to be clean. This is the best on offer in the whole outlook. It’s not huge, but it’s rideable and clean – a real glimmer of hope. The afternoon drops a touch to 5ft (299) but stays clean. Keep in mind this break is inconsistent, so don’t expect a non-stop show, but when it does come through, it’ll be worth the wait.
After that, the window slams shut again for days. The next mentionable surf doesn’t come until Tuesday the 15th of September. The morning shows a 5ft swell from the NNW (199) with a light cross-off breeze from the west. The period is short at 6 seconds though, so it’ll be a bit weak and jumbled. It’s surfable but nothing to write home about. The afternoon turns messy with a cross-shore wind.
Water temp for the first session on the 7th is sitting at 58°F, which is about normal for this time of year. No surprises there.
So to wrap it up: if you’re keen, hold out for Monday the 7th of September at Newdicks Beach. That’s your standout. Everything else is either flat, choppy, or just plain ordinary. It’s a quiet spell, but these things don’t last forever.
Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Newdicks Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
