The Lowdown
Righto, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the Pambula Rivermouth over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with ya – it’s a lean stretch.
The whole 16-day window is a bit of a dud, to be honest. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with very little surfable energy. The first real sniff of anything that might get you out of bed doesn’t show up until Monday the 24th of September, and even then, it’s just barely. The Rivermouth is an inconsistent spot on its best days, so a blank run like this isn’t totally out of the ordinary for this area.
The one standout that’s worth a mention is the setup on Wednesday the 23rd of September. The afternoon sees a bit of a pulse with a 5ft swell from the NE, and the combined energy pushes up to 281, which is a solid moderate lump. The wind swings to a fresh cross-offshore from the SW, cleaning things up nicely. That’s a real window of opportunity. The swell period is a short 7 seconds, so the waves will be a bit choppy and sectiony, but for a spot that’s been flat, it’ll be the best you’ll see. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
The morning of the 24th still has a bit of life, with a 3ft NE swell and moderate offshore winds from the SSW. The energy is still moderate at 118, but it's surfable, even if the conditions are just ordinary. After that, it fades back into the doldrums.
For the rest of the run, we’re mostly looking at tiny, weak swells, often with onshore winds. The combined energy is almost always in the double digits, which is just weak sauce. There are a few glassy moments on the morning of the 22nd with 2ft, but the swell is too small and short-period to do much with.
If you’re a beginner, anything over 5ft is a bit much, and the 5ft on the 23rd isn’t too big, but the short period might make it a bit messy for learning. For the experts, the 3ft clean stuff on the 24th is a better bet for a couple of turns.
The NE swell direction isn’t the optimum for the Rivermouth, which prefers an ENE, so the waves might not be as well-shaped as they could be. But when the wind is clean and there’s a bit of energy, you take what you can get.
Rusty.
