The Lowdown
The Imperial Outlook
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the numbers in feet and miles.
Let's be straight up – the start of this run is a bust for a decent paddle. The wind is just ruining everything. The first real chance of something good doesn't come until Saturday, August 8th. Before that, we've got periods of fresh cross-onshore winds making a mess of things, especially with that 6ft to 8ft swell on Monday and Tuesday. The energy is significant, but it's all wind-blown chop. For a few days there, with that strong onshore wind and sizeable swell, this might be a better bet for the kite surfers than us.
The standout is the morning of Saturday, August 8th. We're looking at a clean 3ft swell from the WSW, with a killer 16-second period. That's real groundswell. The wind is a gentle offshore from the NNE, which is prime for glassy conditions. The energy is solid, but not huge. For a spot that's fairly exposed to the SW, that 3ft will be clean and rideable. The water is about 56°, which is normal for this time of year. Just a heads-up, Norman Bay is a good beginner spot, and it can get a crowd sometimes, so get there early for the best waves.
The quality holds into the afternoon of Saturday, too, with the wind staying light and cross-offshore. After that, it's back to the struggle. Sunday sees a jump in size but a drop in period, and the wind turns ugly again. The pulse on Monday, August 10th, is huge – 8ft with massive energy – but it's a total mess with the wind. Then we get a long run of onshore winds and lumpy conditions. A couple of sessions around the 17th and 18th look okay, but nothing special.
So, the call is simple: get your best session in on Saturday, August 8th. It won't be big, but it'll be clean, long-period, and the best of the bunch.
Rusty.
