The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for us.
To be straight with you, the outlook is a bit of a struggle. We've got a real dry spell on the horizon. The first bit of action worth paddling out for doesn't show up until Monday the 7th, but even that's a mixed bag. After that, the waves fade out pretty quick, and from Thursday the 10th onward, it’s looking flat and grim for days on end. There's a long gap of almost no surfable options from the 10th right through to the 22nd of September. It's one of those blank runs that can happen around here, but keep an eye on the charts; it tends not to stay this quiet forever.
Alright, the only real window we have is Pobbles Beach on Monday the 7th of September. The morning is your best bet. We're looking at a solid 6ft of swell coming from the WSW, which is a good direction for this spot. The energy is pumping hard at 1385, so there's plenty of grunt in the water. The period is a nice and juicy 14 seconds, which means real groundswell with proper shape and power. The kicker here is the wind: a light WNW breeze at 12 mph, blowing clean cross-offshore. That'll keep the faces nice and smooth. The water is a warm 67°, which is about 6° warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home. Just a heads up, this break can get a bit busy sometimes, so expect some company in the lineup. The size is manageable for most, but at 6ft, it's not really a beginner wave.
The afternoon of the 7th gets a bit messy with the wind swinging WSW and picking up to 19 mph, putting a chop on the surface. Tuesday the 8th is smaller and the wind is stronger, so it's not worth chasing.
That's it. Monday morning is the one to aim for. After that, we’re looking at small, onshore junk for the rest of the period. Get it while you can.
Rusty.
