The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Norman Bay at Wilsons Promontory.
Right off the bat, I gotta say it – this is a tough stretch. A lot of the 16-day window is looking pretty ordinary for a paddle. We’ve got a big ugly gap of poor surf starting now and running all the way through to the end of this week. That first recommendation doesn’t pop up until Saturday, August 1st, so we’re looking at a few days of nothing to write home about.
The first real chance to get wet comes Saturday morning, August 1st. We’ve got a small 1ft southwest swell, but the period is a very long 18 seconds, which is proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is weak (202) but the wind is light and clean. It’s surfable, but it’s more of a paddle-out to stretch the arms than a day to remember.
The standout for the whole outlook is Saturday afternoon, August 1st. The wind goes glassy, a total zero, and the swell bumps up to 3ft from the southwest on that same long 18-second period. The combined energy is still moderate (447). For Norman Bay, which is a fairly exposed beginner-friendly spot, that’s about as good as it gets. The water temp is sitting at 57°, which is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there. Expect clean, small waves. The crowds are listed as “sometimes”, so you might have a few mates out, but it’ll be worth it.
The other window that catches my eye is Sunday, August 9th, about a week and a half out. Sunday afternoon looks promising with a 4ft swell from the west-southwest, a 12-second period, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is moderate (736). This is a promising one, but it’s a long-range call, so don’t lock it in just yet. The morning of that same day is a bit more marginal with a cross-shore breeze.
For the rest of the period, it’s mostly a write-off with strong cross-onshore winds and messy, lumpy conditions. There’s a day on Friday, August 7th, with some clean offshore winds and a 3ft southwest swell, which could be a nice little session if you’re keen, but the Saturday afternoon and the Sunday the 9th are the real picks.
Rusty, signing off.
