The Lowdown
Thursday 27th August starts us off with a tiny 0.6m southwest groundswell, period 12 seconds, very clean with that light westerly offshore wind. But honestly, there’s just no energy behind it—combined swell energy is a weak 149—so don’t get your hopes up.
Friday 28th sees a jump in size, but the wind turns onshore. The morning is 0.9m SW groundswell with 18-second period and 733 combined energy, yet it’s still poor. By Friday afternoon we’ve got 1.6m SW swell, 17-second period, and huge energy reading 1467, but the wind is cross-onshore and the conditions are choppy. It stays messy.
Saturday 29th through to the end of the week is more of the same: onshore winds, moderate to fresh breezes, and swell between 0.8m and 1.6m. The energy climbs on the 2nd of September to a strong 2969 with 2.1m WSW swell, but the wind is on it and coming from a fresh westerly direction. It’s a no-go.
Monday 7th September is a write-off: a near gale cross-onshore blows out the 1.6m short-period swell (only 8 seconds), with a feeble 419 energy. Just stay at home.
The first real glimmer comes on Sunday 6th September. The morning has 1.4m SW swell, 15 seconds, with combined energy of 869, and finally the wind is cross-offshore from the northeast—clean conditions. It’s still only marked as marginal, with questionable tide, but it’s the best we’ve seen. That afternoon is similar: 1.2m SW swell, 14 seconds, clean with a light ENE cross-offshore breeze. A one on the scale, but at least the water’s smooth.
Then Thursday 10th September offers another marginal chance. Morning has 1.5m SW groundswell at 16 seconds, combined energy of 1130, with a gentle cross-onshore breeze that leaves it a little choppy. It’s not great, but it’s the pick of a bad bunch.
For a true standout? There really isn’t one. The only session worth pointing at is the Sunday 6th September morning, with clean cross-offshore winds and a decent 1.4m SW groundswell. No crowds listed, so you might have it quiet, but it’s a spot that needs a perfect setup, and this is still marginal.
After that, we’re back to poor conditions through to the 11th, with light winds but tiny, weak swell. A flat spell stretches from the start all the way to that Sunday, a gap of over a week with nothing worth paddling for.
