The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's comin' our way for the next stretch.
Alright, mate, it’s a bit of a slow start for Norman Bay (Wilsons Promontory). Sunday morning's got a bit of swell, but it's only 3ft from the SW with a cross breeze. The combined energy is just moderate at (443) and it's labelled marginal. That afternoon cleans right up though - glassy conditions with a light cross-off ESE wind making for some clean little 3ft SW groundswell. It's small, but it's a start.
Then we hit a real dry spell. From Monday the 3rd right through the whole of the first week and into early the second week, it's pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at a solid 8-day gap with no good surf to speak of. The winds are just too strong and onshore, ruining the shape, or the swell drops to barely a ripple. Some days the combined energy looks like it could have something, but the wind destroys it.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. The first real standout comes on the 13th of August, a Thursday. Thursday arvo at Norman Bay... this is the one. You're looking at a solid 10ft of SW groundswell, with a 14-second period, and a clean cross-off breeze out of the NE. The combined wave energy is a massive (4234). The data says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. This is powerful, well-directed swell, and clean. If you're an experienced hand and can handle that size, this is your window. Friday morning on the 14th is still holding decent 5ft SW swell at 17 seconds with a clean cross-off, but that combined energy has dropped a touch to (2183) and it's more of a secondary option.
The rest of the second week after that Friday morning gets smashed by gale-force winds, so don't bother. There's a brief moment on the 12th of August where the swell is 7ft with a very long 17-second period and light wind, but it's cross-shore and the data flags it as marginal tide conditions.
So, to put it plain: hang tight for the first week. Your only chance to paddle out is that small, clean Sunday arvo. The real prize is that Thursday the 13th of August arvo with the 10ft SW groundswell. It's a big clean one for the big kids.
