The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range look at Pantai Air Manis.
Alright, let’s talk about the next couple of weeks at Pantai Air Manis. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming, but there are some real windows of opportunity if you time it right. The water is sitting at about 85°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no wetsuit drama.
The real standout of this whole period is the morning of Friday, 28 August. We’ve got a solid 5ft swell rolling in from the southwest, with a 16-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy, meaning long lines and good shape. The wind is glassy, dead calm, so those waves will be as clean as a whistle. The combined energy is pumping at 1241, which is strong, pushing it into the territory of fun, powerful waves. It’s not gigantic, but it’s got plenty of grunt for a good session. Keep in mind that with that period, it might get a bit walled at the beach, but with that super clean wind, it’ll be worth it.
Before that, the morning of Thursday, 27 August also looks promising, with a 3ft swell from the same SW direction but with a very long 20-second period and glassy conditions. It’s a touch smaller, but the energy reading of 828 is still moderate, making for some beautifully shaped, easy-paddling waves.
For the long-range stuff, keep an eye on Tuesday, 1 September. The morning session is looking very similar to the 28th: 5ft SW swell, 16-second period, glassy wind, and even more energy at 1483. This is another serious standout for experienced surfers. It’s a bit more powerful, so it’s a solid intermediate-to-expert wave.
After that, the morning of Wednesday, 2 September holds a 5ft SW swell with a 16-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is still strong at 1119, so it’s another quality day for those who can handle it.
There are plenty of other mornings with smaller, glassy surf in the 3ft to 4ft range, like the 30th and 31st of August, which are great for a longboard or a cruiser session. The afternoons tend to get a bit of onshore wind or storms rolling in, so mornings are definitely the pick.
Overall, the best of the best are the glassy mornings on 28 August and 1 September. Mark those in the calendar and get excited.
Rusty.
