No Pass Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a yarn about what’s coming up at No Pass. It’s a reef break, suited to the intermediate crew, and it’s fairly consistent for a spot like this. The water temp is sitting at 58.6°F right now, which is about average for the time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary there.

The bad news is the first week is a real struggle. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of poor conditions. The wind is stubbornly cross-onshore for days on end, and the swell is either tiny or messy. It’s a tough stretch. Late on Sunday the 23rd, there’s a blip of 5.2ft swell from the NW, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the wind is still messy, so it’s not really one to get excited about.

Then on Monday the 24th, we get a little window of hope. The wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the SSE, cleaning things up with 2.0ft of long-period SSW groundswell (18 seconds). The energy is moderate (410). It’s not a blower, but it’s clean. The energy ticks up a bit on Tuesday the 25th afternoon with a 2.0ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and the wind goes glassy. That’s the cleanest the waves will be all week, but the size is small.

The real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Thursday the 3rd of September. The afternoon glass off looks like a magic moment. The wind goes dead calm, glassy, and the swell is 4.6ft from the NW with a 12-second period. The combined energy is strong (1061). The conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the one. The swell direction matches the optimum WNW, and the clean conditions will make that reef work. It’s a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed, but it’s the best on offer.

The rest of the second week is mostly a write-off again with onshore winds and lumpy conditions, except for that one Thursday afternoon. The outlook is spotty, but that one session could be a cracker.
