The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. This one’s a bummer. We’ve got a 16-day stretch ahead, and there’s simply nothing worth paddling out for. The whole thing is a bust.
The only break in the mix is Octagon House. It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent beach break that needs a southeast swell. But the forecast is a total dud. Swell heights are tiny, from 1ft to 2ft, coming from the south and southeast with a period of just 3 to 6 seconds – that’s choppy, wind-driven junk, not real surf. The combined energy is weak, at 6 to 37 (weak energy), so there’s zero power.
Wind is the main problem. For the full 16 days, it’s mostly cross-shore, cross-onshore, or straight onshore, blowing 6 mph to 16 mph. That’s going to mess up the surface. There’s a couple of clean windows on the morning of Wednesday, 2nd September, and Thursday, 3rd September, with a light cross-offshore breeze out of the west-northwest and southwest, but the swell is still a measly 1ft, with no energy (9 and 10). You’d be sitting on flat water.
Every single report says “poor surf conditions.” There’s no standout day. No best option. Just a 16-day gap where the surf is a no-go. For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a weird dry spell. It won’t last forever, but for now, don’t bother.
Rusty.
