The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks at this spot. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a lean run for a while, but there’s a little light at the end of the tunnel.
We’re starting off with a long, quiet stretch. From now through the first few days, there’s just nothing doing. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the shop, and the conditions are poor. You’re looking at a gap of about a week or more with no real surf to speak of. It’s a waiting game.
Things get a tiny bit interesting around Wednesday the 2nd of September. We see a rise in swell to about 5ft to 5ft coming from the SW and WSW, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate (134 to 216), but the wind is a cross-offshore and the surf is clean. Now, this isn't a standout by any stretch, but for a spot that’s been flat, it’s the first sign of life. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there.
The real standout, and the only true bright spot in this whole outlook, is Friday the 4th of September. We get a morning window with a clean, 4ft swell from the NW, a longer period of 9 seconds, and a gentle cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is a solid moderate (251). It’s not massive, but for this break, that’s clean, lined-up surf with some push. If you can get out that morning, that’s your best bet.
After that, it gets messy again. The swell builds through the weekend but the wind turns onshore and choppy, and by Monday the 7th, we get a pulse of 8ft from the SW, but with an onshore wind, it’s just a lumpy, blown-out mess. That’s expert-only territory with that size and poor conditions, and even then, it won’t be pretty. The energy is strong (561) but wasted. The short 7-second period on that big swell will make for fat, crumbly waves.
Briefly on Tuesday the 8th, there’s a big 8ft swell from the WNW, but again the onshore wind ruins it. Short period (8 seconds) and choppy – a real shame. That’s expert-only size and just not worth the paddle in.
So to wrap it up: sit on your hands for the first week. Keep an eye on that Friday morning (4th September) for a clean, rideable session. After that, it’s a mix of onshore wind and too-big swell for any kind of fun. That’s the read from here.
Rusty.
