The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day outlook for our neck of the woods is a tough one.
We're looking at a solid stretch of nothing but poor surf conditions across the board. The main issue is the wind. It's going to be coming from the east-northeast pretty much non-stop, and it's often cross or cross-onshore, just chopping up any little bumps we get. The combined swell energy is weak, staying well under a hundred for the whole run. Basically, it's flat and messy. This first real gap in quality runs from now all the way through to the end of the forecast on the 29th of September. There are no standouts to highlight here. It’s a blank run, plain and simple.
Our only option is Playa Copey. It's a consistent point break, intermediate-level, and it needs swell from the NE to work. Over the next two weeks, we're only seeing tiny little swells – think 0.7 ft to 3 ft from the NE or ENE. The periods are all over the place, a mix of short period windswell and some longer period signals, but nothing that'll actually produce a rideable wave with this wind on it. The NE swell direction misses the optimum window, and the onshore E/ENE winds just kill it. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Honestly, with the combination of poor-quality, weak swells and persistent choppy winds, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The combined swell energy barely cracks 50 once, on the 26th of September (Saturday afternoon), and even then it's weak at 50 and the cross-shore wind is still going to make it messy.
There’s nothing to get excited about here. Forecasts can change, but for now, it's a wait-and-see. Take the board down and just enjoy the beach.
Rusty.
