The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I'm looking at Norman Bay over the next 16 days. The honest truth is there's only one real gem in the whole forecast, so let's break it down.
Water temp is around 56°F, which is about 2°F warmer than average for this time of year. So, not too unusual, but you'll still want your rubber.
Your best bet is Tuesday afternoon, August 25th. There's some clouds, but the wind goes glassy out of the SW at just 3 mph. That's a dream. We've got a 3 ft swell from the SW, with a period of 13 seconds, so it's a nice groundswell with good lines. The combined energy is weak at 337, but for a beginner-friendly spot like Norman Bay, it's perfect. The water is glassy, and crowds are only "sometimes" an issue, so you might have it mostly to yourself.
From Wednesday the 26th of August, things go downhill. The wind swings onshore and cross-onshore from the WSW and W, blowing 15 to 16 mph, and the swell builds to 4 ft, but it's chopped up and messy. The combined energy gets moderate (667 to 1440), but the quality is poor. This run of poor conditions stretches all the way to the end of the month.
We then hit a long gap from the 30th of August through to the 4th of September. The wind is mostly onshore, light to moderate, and the swell sits between 3 ft and 5 ft, but it's all "poor" or "marginal" surf. There is a glimmer on Saturday the 5th of September, in the afternoon. We've got a 5 ft SW swell, with a 15-second period, combined energy of 914, and a clean cross-off wind from the NNE at 12 mph. It's a solid option, but it's far out and the forecast gets less certain. It's promising, but not a lock.
The last few days, from the 7th to the 9th of September, are a write-off. Winds are strong, 22 to 28 mph from the SW and W, with lumpy, messy, and even stormy conditions. The swell is there, but it's not for paddle surfing. With that much wind, it's more of a kite-surfing setup.
So, here's the bottom line: your one standout is Tuesday afternoon, August 25th. After that, there's a long stretch of poor surf, then a hopeful but uncertain window on the 5th of September. Keep your expectations in check.
Rusty.
