The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Well, I’ll be straight with ya – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for Norman Bay (Wilsons Promontory). The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. There’s not a single session that’s worth paddling out for, so if you’re hanging for a wave, you’re gonna be waiting a while.
The problem here is that every time there’s a bit of swell, the wind is just ruining it. From this Saturday morning the 29th of August, right through to Sunday the 13th of September, it’s all “poor surf conditions” – no ratings above zero. That’s a long, dry spell.
Now, there is some energy in the water. The combined swell energy gets up to 1850 on the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September, but with a strong onshore breeze howling in from the NW at 22 mph and a cross-on wind, it’s gonna be a messy, lumpy, choppy mess. Not worth it.
Even the bigger pulses of swell, like the 8 ft on Friday morning the 4th of September, are accompanied by strong winds straight onshore, which will just make it a washing machine. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing exciting there to warm ya up either.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there’s nothing that gets a recommendation. That’s just how it goes here sometimes – this stretch tends to go blank for long periods. If you’re really keen, keep an eye on the forecasts, because it never stays this poor forever, but for now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
