The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down, Pobbles faithful. It’s a tough watch for the next couple of weeks, I won’t sugarcoat it.
We kick off with some onshore mess – 1.5m waves but with a short, weak period and a 30 km/h cross-off breeze. The energy’s just not there. Wednesday morning brings a little more size, 1.7m, and a longer period, but it’s still a so-so call with the wind up. That’s about as good as it gets for a while.
From Thursday through Sunday, we’ve got a mix of 1.2m to 2.0m surf, but the period stays short and the winds are mostly cross or cross-on. It’s choppy and blown out. Sunday morning the wind finally drops to almost nothing, but the swell's down to about 4ft and gutless. Saturday has some size, but it’s ragged.
Then the bottom falls out. We enter a dead stretch starting Sunday night and through to the end of the month. Wave heights drop under 3ft, and the energy fades away. There is one small window on Friday the 25th – glassy conditions and a long-period swell, but it’s only around 2ft. It’s clean, but there’s nothing on it. That’s about the only time you’ll get a proper glassy surface, but you’ll be cruising on a longboard, not ripping.
The rest of that second week is pretty flat, with a bit of bump on the 30th – about 3ft – but it’s still cross-shore and not worth getting excited about.
So, bottom line: the one standout is that Friday afternoon glass-off, but it’s tiny. It’s been a while since we’ve had a proper run, and this stretch isn’t going to change that. Keep the board in the car, but know that it’ll be a lot of time sitting on the beach.
