The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Norman Bay (Wilsons Promontory). The water temp is sitting at 56°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, nothing too crazy, just a nice little bonus.
The first decent opportunity we’ve got is this Saturday, the 8th of August. We’re looking at a 3ft SW groundswell with a long 16-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 430. The wind is a light NNE cross-off, so it’ll be clean. It’s a bit on the small side, but for a beginner-friendly spot like this, it’s a solid, fun size. The afternoon holds up with a clean offshore breeze, staying in the same range.
Now, things get a bit rough from Sunday the 9th all the way through the following week. The wind swings onshore and builds, the swell gets messy and lumpy. We get a spike in energy mid-week with readings over 2900, but that’s all 7ft+ onshore junk with a short period. Not for paddle surfing – that’s more of a kite show.
The real standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is the weekend of the 16th and 17th of August. Sunday the 16th kicks off with a glassy morning, 3ft SW groundswell at 14 seconds, and clean conditions. The following Monday the 17th is equally good with a gentle offshore breeze and the same knee-to-waist high swell. You’ll have some company as crowds are sometimes a factor, but with that quality, it’s worth it.
The next big highlight is Friday the 21st of August. That’s the best of the whole run. A 5ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, gentle offshore wind from the east, and the combined energy is a solid 1255. The waves will have real push and shape. It’s a little bigger, so it’s stepping into intermediate territory, but for anyone who’s got their sea legs, this is the session to chase.
The run ends on the 23rd with a fresh onshore breeze messing things up again. So, you’ve got this Saturday, the 8th, as a warm-up, a quiet patch, then a golden window from the 16th to the 21st. Get out there.
Rusty.
