The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty.
Righto, let's break down what's coming for the local break. The water’s sitting around 61°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual for this time of year – a bit of a treat for the hands.
The real standout window is Saturday, August 22nd. The Rivermouth is looking at a solid 5 to 5 feet of ENE swell with a 10-second period, meaning good energy and shape. The wind will be blowing offshore from the SSW, cleaning things right up. The combined energy is strong, around 371 to 413, so there's plenty of punch. It's an advanced wave and crowds can build, but if you're out there, this is the session to chase.
Before that, there’s a possible go on Monday, August 10th. The morning is a total mess – a huge 12-foot NNE swell with nasty onshore winds, that’s for experts only and even then it’s poor. But the afternoon shows promise. The swell drops to a clean 5 feet from the NE, the wind shifts to a light WSW cross-off, and the waves clean up nicely. It’s a solid afternoon paddle if you can swing it.
The rest of the first week and into the second is mostly flat or small. A few mornings are glassy, like Friday the 14th, but the swell is barely a foot – not worth getting wet for. There’s a solid stretch from the 11th to the 21st with no real recommendations, so over a week of slim pickings.
Further ahead, Monday, August 24th is another one to note. You’ve got a 3-foot ENE swell with an 11-second period, giving it some nice push, and a moderate offshore from the SSW keeping it clean. The energy is moderate at 229. A tidy way to finish the forecast run.
So, the plan is simple: wait for the 22nd, maybe hit the 10th in the afternoon, and the 24th is a bonus. The rest? Just keep your board waxed and wait.
Rusty.
