Onemana Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get down to it.

Truth be told, the next stretch is looking pretty grim. It's flat, weak, and will have you checking your leash for rust. We’ve got a solid block of days where the swell is just not there. It’s not going to be worth dropping everything for, that's for sure. The good news is the wind is often offshore, so it will be clean, but clean and tiny is still tiny.

There’s a little pulse of activity on the morning of Thursday, September 10th. We’re looking at a `1ft` NE swell with a long 14-second period. The energy is weak at `68`, but the WNW wind is offshore and the surface is glassy. It’s surfable, but you’re going to want a high-volume board. It's the kind of day for longboard fun, not for pulling into pits.

The rest of that week is more of the same. Small swell and a lot of cross-offshore winds through Friday and the weekend, which will add some texture. The following Monday and Tuesday have lighter winds and clean conditions, but the swell is down to a tiny `1ft`. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no drama there.

We’re in the doldrums for most of the second week, too. The energy is low and the swell stays minimal. The first real sign of life comes on the morning of Wednesday, September 23rd. The swell bumps to `2ft` with a short 8-second period, and the energy climbs to a moderate `73`. It’s still small, but with a clean offshore wind, it's the best thing we’ve seen in a while. The next day, Thursday the 24th, holds that size with even lighter winds, so there could be a few fun ones if you're happy to grovel.

Then, on Friday the 25th, we finally see a little more juice. The swell pushes to `3ft` and the energy jumps to `184`. It’s the most on offer for the whole forecast period, but don’t go booking a flight. It’s still small and nothing to get crazy about. This whole stretch is a groomer’s playground, not a surfer’s paradise.

That's all I've got. Stay patient.

Rusty.
