The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead for the Pambula Rivermouth (NSW). For the next 16 days, there’s no real standout session where it all comes together nicely. The swell stays small for most of it, and when there is a bit more push, the wind or conditions aren’t playing ball.
The first hint of anything with a bit of grunt shows up on Saturday the 5th of September, with a lumpy 5ft swell coming from the NNE. The combined energy is moderate (273), but it’s bumpy with a cross-onshore wind and a short period swell (6 seconds), so it’s going to be a messy one. Not one to get excited about.
The next bit of interest comes on Tuesday the 8th of September. There’s a 6ft NE swell, moderate combined energy (259), but the wind is onshore, the period is short at 7 seconds, and there’s light rain. That one’s for the die-hards only, and even then, it’s not pretty.
Wednesday the 9th of September is the best of a bad bunch. The swell sits around 5ft to 5ft (moderate energy at 414 to 465), with a clean offshore wind from the SW and SSW. It’s a bit of a jump in energy and the period is still short (8 seconds). The river mouth can work with a good swell direction from the ENE, but this NE swell is a bit off. It’s the cleanest window we get, but still a marginal day. At over 5ft, it’s pushing into territory that’s not so friendly for beginners.
After that, it drops right back to tiny ankle-snappers for the rest of the run, with less than 2ft swell, often with poor wind or rain. There’s a long gap of tiny, poor surf from the 10th of September right through to the 17th.
If you’re looking for the only real window, the 9th of September (Wednesday) with the offshore wind and that 5ft+ swell is your best shot. Just don’t expect perfection.
Rusty.
