The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty grim for the lineup. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing but poor surf conditions, so prepare for a lot of flat, bumpy, or just plain messy days.
The first real chance of anything rideable doesn't show up until Monday, August 19th. Up until then, you’re looking at a solid 12-day stretch of gnarly cross-onshore winds, tiny dribblers, and choppy seas. The water temp is about 66°F, which feels a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s no waves.
Alright, let’s talk about the one bright spot on the horizon. Tuesday, August 18th, is the big one. Early morning, we’re looking at a solid 10ft swell from the NW with a very long period of 11 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, packing some serious energy (1780). That’s a lot of power. For the experts, this is the session. The combined energy is off the charts, but with that long period and a NW direction, it’s best left to the lads with big wave boards and bigger balls. It’s going to be a heavy, powerful beast. The afternoon drops a bit to 8ft, still a solid size, but it’s still a serious wave.
Then, on Wednesday, August 19th, the swell drops back to a more manageable 5ft from the NW, and the wind finally swings around. We get a clean, cross-off wind from the south in the morning, and then by the afternoon (19th), it’s a gentle offshore from the SSE. That’s the sweet spot. Clean faces, punchy waves, and the energy is still moderate (327). This is the only window I’d call “surfable” for most of us. It’s not a world-beater, but after that long drought, a clean 5ft wave from the NW will feel like a gift.
So, bottom line: forget the whole first week. The standout is Tuesday, August 18th for the absolute chargers, but the real surfer's pick is the afternoon of Wednesday, August 19th, when the wind cleans up that solid NW swell.
Rusty.
