The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here with the outlook for the next stretch.
Honestly, it's a bit of a mixed bag and there's a lot of waiting involved. The first few days are pretty flat and messy, but there are a couple of windows that could be worth getting wet if you're keen.
The real standout here is the morning of Wednesday, August 5th. It’s not a massive swell, but the quality will be there. We’ve got a 4ft swell rolling in from the NW with a 9-second period, and the wind is going glassy – that's the key. The water is a touch cooler than average at 64°F, and the combined energy is a moderate 256. It’s a consistent break, so you’ll get waves. It's a beginner-friendly spot, and with conditions like that, it’ll be a joy. The morning session is the one to aim for.
Before that, we have a long wait. Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd offer some small, surfable waves, but conditions are very ordinary. A 4ft swell on Monday morning is clean, but the energy is low (194) and the period is short. It's nothing to write home about.
After that Wednesday peak, the wind turns onshore from the NE and the surf gets choppy and messy. We get a spike in size on Thursday the 6th with a 7ft NNE swell, but it's junk with a short 6-second period and strong onshore winds. That’s more of a kite-surfing situation than a paddle session.
The later part of the week is a write-off, with a lot of poor conditions and small junk. There’s a bit of a tease on the morning of Thursday, August 13th, with a clean, glassy 3ft W swell and a 9-second period. The energy is moderate at 183, but it's just "surfable" – not a standout.
The final hop is on Monday, August 17th, where we see a 4ft WNW swell with a longer 11-second period, giving a strong energy of 308. But the wind is cross-onshore, keeping it from being a classic. It’s worth a look, but don't expect perfection.
So, to boil it down: get out on Wednesday morning, August 5th, for the cleanest waves. The rest is a long game of patience.
Rusty, out.
