Out Front Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got coming down the line. To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are pretty quiet. There’s one day that stands out as worth the paddle, but you’ll need some patience.

We start with nothing much at all. The first couple of days are grim. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd offer tiny waves with poor conditions, so don’t even bother. Friday through to early the following week is a write-off too – small swell and messy winds keep things flat and uninviting. There’s a real dry spell here, about a week of barely a wave worth jumping in for.

Now, Monday morning the 7th – that’s a little window of calm. Glassy conditions at Out Front with a light offshore vibe (SE wind at 3 mph) and a clean 2 ft swell pushing in from the east at 9 seconds. Combined energy is weak at 60, so it’s not powerful, but it’ll be clean and rideable for a beginner. Still, it’s very ordinary overall. Not the day to set an alarm for.

Then we go into another long gap – nothing but poor surf and small junk through the middle of the month. The 11th and 13th see offshore winds but with swell so tiny (1 ft) you’ll be floating more than riding. Just not worth suiting up.

But hold onto your board, because Thursday morning the 17th is the standout. Out Front shapes up with 5 ft of clean swell from the ESE, period at 7 seconds. Combined energy hits a moderate 239, so there’s some proper push there. Wind is light cross-off from the west at 9 mph, keeping the surface clean. This is the best on offer across the whole 16 days – a real session for the experienced crew who don’t mind a bit of punch. Beginners might find it a bit much over 5 ft.

Water temp is about what you’d expect for early September, nothing wild to report.

So, there you have it. A long flat spell broken by one promising Thursday morning. Keep an eye on it.

Rusty.
