The Lowdown
Alright, let's look at what Pambula Rivermouth has in store for us over the next couple weeks. Honestly, it’s a slow burn, but there's a little fire at the end.
First up, the forecast starts with a real dead spell. Days of flat to almost-nothing surf. The water temp is about 60°F, which is spot on for the season.
For the next week and a half, the river mouth is mostly a puddle. We’re talking knee-high waves, if that, with long periods of 13 seconds or more. That’s groundswell energy, but the combined energy is barely a flicker (from 3 to 13). The wind offers up glassy conditions on Thursday the 17th, and some offshore breezes on Tuesday the 15th, but with no wave height, it’s just a flat, clean mirror.
Things finally get a heartbeat around Wednesday the 23rd of September. Swell builds to about 5ft from the NE in the morning, with energy hitting 171. It’s choppy, though, with an onshore NNE breeze. By the afternoon, it surges to a powerful 10ft from the NE, energy at 862. That’s big, unruly, and short-period (8 seconds) – strictly for experts only, and even then it’ll be a battle. Might be a better day for the kite surfers given the onshore wind.
The real standout, the only one worth planning for, is Sunday the 27th of September. The afternoon shows a clean 5ft NE swell with energy at 529. A solid offshore wind from the SSW will groom it up nicely. That’s a proper session for the crew who can handle it. The direction is spot-on for the break, and it’ll have some punch.
Monday the 28th still has some decent leftover swell, around 5ft to 6ft from the ENE, with energy between 295 and 468. The wind stays light and cross-offshore, so it’s surfable, but not as crisp as the day before. A good follow-up, not the main event.
Just keep in mind, Pambula Rivermouth doesn’t fire often, and when it does, it can get a few salty dogs out there.
