The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here with the straight story. This run at Norman Bay is a long, slow burn. We’ve got a solid stretch of blown-out, onshore junk that doesn’t let up for over a week. The first real opportunity doesn’t pop up until Tuesday, September 22nd, and that’s a long gap of nothing. It’s tough, but it’s how this place can be when the wind decides to be a bastard.
Things finally look up on the morning of Tuesday the 22nd. A 4-foot southwest swell, 14-second period, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the northeast. The combined swell energy hits a moderate 692 – there’s some proper push there. The notes say “expect very good surf conditions,” and for a beginner-friendly spot like Norman Bay, that 4-foot is right in the wheelhouse. Tuesday afternoon holds that clean vibe, though the swell drops to 4 feet (464 energy).
A couple of quiet days follow, but mark Monday, September 28th. That morning is dead glassy – a gentle northeasterly breeze, a 3-foot southwest swell with a 16-second period (295 energy). That is as clean as it gets, perfect for a long, easy session. Then Tuesday the 29th is the real standout of the whole outlook: a moderate offshore easterly, a building 5-foot southwest swell, and the combined energy jumps to 1330. That’s a healthy groundswell with clean, offshore conditions. “Expect very good surf conditions” again – you couldn’t ask for much more from this stretch.
Water temp is about 56°F, just a touch warmer than average for the season – nothing unusual. Crowds can pop up sometimes, but it’s rarely a zoo.
The rest of the outlook fizzles out with smaller swells and onshore winds. That big 8-foot swell on the 15th? Ruined by 25 mph cross-onshore winds and rain. Not worth a look.
Rusty.
