The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you right off the bat – this is a grim outlook for North Pier. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf, so we’re just going to talk about why you’re better off staying home.
For the first week, from Saturday the 8th through to the following Saturday the 15th, it’s an almost total flat spell. We’re looking at waves barely reaching 0.7ft to 3ft, mostly from the SSE or S. The swell energy is pitiful, with values like 8 (weak energy) and only creeping up to 92 (still weak) by the 15th. The winds are mostly cross-off or offshore, which would be great if there was any swell to clean up, but there isn’t. The periods are all over the place, from short 6-second windswell to a 15-second groundswell on the 12th, but with only 0.3ft of height, it’s completely irrelevant. Every single call is “poor surf conditions.”
The second week doesn’t get any better. Monday the 17th through to the end of the outlook on Sunday the 23rd is more of the same. The swell heights are still pathetic, mostly under 2ft. The only slight spike comes on Thursday the 20th with a 3ft to 3ft SSE swell and moderate energy (126 to 190), but it’s accompanied by risk of thunderstorms and cross-onshore winds. That’s a messy, blown-out setup, and for a sheltered spot like North Pier, that’s just a waste. The rest of the days are clean but flat.
There is genuinely nothing to recommend here. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the cleanest conditions will be on the mornings of the 15th and 16th, or the 22nd, but you’ll be bobbing around on ankle-biters. With such inconsistent and tiny waves, and the whole 16 days offering zero standout sessions, this is a true blank run. It’s one of those periods where you just have to accept the forecasts can change, but for now, this is a hard pass.
Rusty.
