No Pass Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for No Pass. This is a reef setup, exposed to the WNW, and it's a fairly consistent spot when there's swell around. The water is sitting at 59.2°, which is about average for this time of year.

First thing you gotta know: there's really nothing worth paddling out for this weekend or the start of the week. The swell is small, around 2.3ft to 3.3ft, and almost every session is ruined by a cross-onshore wind. The combined energy is weak, never hitting triple digits properly, and it's all lumpy and choppy. Save your wax.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday the 9th. In the morning, it's only 1.6ft, but the wind goes glassy. That's a good sign. The energy is still low (203), but it's clean. The afternoon picks up a bit to 2.3ft, but the wind swings cross-onshore, so it's back to being marginal.

Thursday the 10th is where things start to look interesting. The morning is still a bit messy with a light cross-onshore, but the swell is 3.0ft from the SSW at a long 17 seconds. The energy is moderate (501). The real standout is Thursday afternoon: the wind goes completely glassy, calm, and the swell is 3.0ft from the SSW with a 17-second period. The combined energy jumps to 715 (moderate). The wave comment says "expect very good surf conditions." This is your best early window. That long period groundswell will be peeling nicely down the reef. Get on it.

The rest of the week into the weekend is a write-off. From Friday the 11th onward, the wind is a persistent cross-onshore, increasing in strength, and the swell gets short and choppy. On Saturday the 12th, the swell bumps up to 5.9ft, but it's a short-period 7-second wind swell, howling cross-onshore at 15 mph. That's pure junk. Sunday the 13th is 4.9ft, but again, choppy and cross-onshore. This stretch is more for the kite surfers than paddle surfers.

We get a bit of a break in the middle of the second week, but it's still small and messy. Then, Saturday the 19th and Monday the 21st pop up as promising. Saturday the 19th afternoon: 2.6ft from the SW, 18-second period, and the wind goes glassy. Combined energy is 542 (moderate). It says "expect very good surf conditions." Then Monday the 21st morning: 3.0ft from the SW, 18-second period, glassy wind, and the energy jumps to 923 (moderate, but getting strong). This is another standout window, but it's promising, not certain this far out.

Overall, the best of the next 16 days is Thursday afternoon the 10th and Saturday the 19th afternoon. The 10th is more reliable. The rest is a lot of waiting and watching.
