Out Front Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me tell you how it's looking for the next couple of weeks around here. Honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell. The first proper surfable day isn't until Wednesday the 2nd of September, and even then it's small. We've got a good solid week of pretty much nothing, just tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. Not much to get excited about.

The main break we've got to work with is Out Front, a sandbar setup that's exposed to the swell. Nothing else is showing on the cards. The water is sitting at about 25°, with an anomaly of 1.0°, so it's a touch warmer than average for this time of year which is nice.

The first time we see any real energy is on Wednesday the 2nd of September. Early morning, we've got a light cross-shore breeze and a small 2ft swell from the SE. The period is a long 11 seconds, which is a proper groundswell, but the combined energy is only moderate (70). It's still a long way from being a standout. The afternoon gets choppy and messy again.

Thursday the 3rd looks cleaner in the morning with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is tiny at 1ft. It's a decent window for a log if you're desperate, but not much else.

The only real flash of something worthwhile comes on Wednesday the 9th of September. The morning brings a moderate cross-offshore wind from the WSW and a 2ft swell from the SE. The period is a solid 11 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 165 (moderate). It's still not huge, but it'll be the cleanest and most energetic wave of the whole forecast. The cross-off wind will hold it open nicely at Out Front. This is your best bet. The afternoon sees the energy drop to 105 and the wind turns a bit cross-onshore, so the morning is the window.

The last few days of the forecast, from the 10th to the 13th, have some clean windows with offshore winds, but the swell remains tiny, under 2ft. The energy is weak, sometimes below 30. There's nothing to really surf on. It's a long, quiet run.

So, to wrap it up: the standout is the morning of Wednesday the 9th of September. Out Front will have the cleanest, most energetic waves of the period with a 2ft, 11-second SE groundswell and a nice cross-off breeze. It's not a big day, but it's the only one that's worth a paddle. Everything else is a flat, choppy mess until the first week of September, and then a long, slow fade.
