The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's on offer locally.
Alright, mate. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag. It's gonna start off pretty quiet, but there are a couple of pulses of energy coming through that could get the heart rate up. The water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We kick off Thursday morning, the 6th, out at Newport - The Peak (reef). It's small, with S swell around 2ft and a period of 10 seconds. The wave energy is weak (71). The W wind is cross-offshore, and it'll be clean, so you can get a few grovelly ones, but it's nothing to write home about. The PM turns bad quick as the wind swings onshore.
Friday the 7th morning is more of the same – small 2ft S swell with light offshore W wind. Clean, but ordinary. The rest of the weekend is flat to tiny.
Now, Sunday the 9th is where we see the first bit of life. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the ENE with a 9-second period and the energy picks up to moderate (214). The NNW wind is cross-offshore, keeping things clean. It’s surfable and the best we've seen so far, but not a standout.
The big news is Monday the 10th morning. Fresh WNW offshore wind at 22 mph blowing straight off the land, cleaning up a solid 5ft ENE swell (9 second period). The combined energy is strong (373). It'll be clean and have some push.
But the true standout, the one you need to circle on the calendar, is Friday the 14th morning. This is an expert session only. The swell jumps to a powerful 10ft from the S with a 10-second period. The energy is a massive 2873 – that’s some serious grunt. With a gentle 9 mph offshore from the WNW, it’s going to be clean, lined up, and pumping. For experienced surfers only, this is the one. The afternoon gets messy as the wind turns onshore.
After that big Friday, Saturday the 15th holds some decent, cleaner leftover swell. The morning has a clean 5ft SSE swell with a gentle offshore, and the afternoon sees 6ft with light cross-offshore winds. Both are solid options for a weekend surf.
From Sunday the 16th onward, things get choppy and messy with cross-shore winds and dropping swell heights. There are some glassy mornings on the 18th and 19th with tiny waves, and a clean window on the 20th with 3ft ENE swell and cross-offshore wind, but it’s not really a standout. The 21st Friday has strong offshore winds that will clean it up, but the swell is small and the wind is howling at 25 mph, making it a battle just to get out.
So, the real standout is the Friday 14th morning for the big, clean S groundswell at Newport - The Peak. Get on it.
