The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I've taken a hard look at the local charts, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough one for the next couple of weeks.
The overall pattern is about as flat as a millpond. We've got a tiny pulse of swell trying to push through in the first week, but it's weak, short-period, and the wind just won't play ball. Don't get your hopes up. After that, from around the 12th of August onwards, we're looking at a long stretch of absolutely nothing. Zilch. Nada. It's a solid eight-day gap with no surf to speak of.
Let's break down the only spot that's even showing a pulse: Point Burwell. This place is a consistent, exposed SW swell magnet, and it loves an offshore wind from the NNE. Early on, the potential is there, but the reality is grim.
We start Thursday, the 6th of August, with a tiny 1ft SW swell. The wind is on it or cross-onshore all day, and the combined wave energy is a pathetic 2. That's not surf, that's a ripple. Friday, the 7th, is more of the same – 1ft of weak, short-period junk. The wind is still messy.
Saturday the 8th sees a tiny bump. The swell hits 3ft from the SW, and the energy jumps to 50 (moderate), but it's still a short 5-second period and the wind is a cross-onshore mess. It's poor. Sunday morning the 9th is a real tease – the wind goes glassy, but the swell collapses to a pathetic 0.7ft. That's just cruel. The following days are a write-off; the wind is howling from the SW, making a mess of the tiny 2ft to 2ft swell.
The one bright spot might be Tuesday the 11th of August. In the morning, the wind swings to a light NNW cross-offshore, cleaning up the 1ft SW swell. The energy is only 5, so it's weak, but for a shortboard on a clean, glassy face, maybe you could find a knee-high crumbler. It's not a standout, but it's the best of a bad bunch.
After that, from the 12th of August onward, the energy drops to zero. There's simply no swell forecast. We get some clean offshore winds on the 16th and 19th, but with no waves to blow on, it's just a good day for a flat-water paddle.
So, I'm calling it how it is. There's no real standout session here. Keep your board in the car, but don't drive out of your way. The near-term is a bust, and the long-range has nothing. It's a real bummer, but that's the way it goes sometimes. This place is looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.
Stay tuned, things can change. For now, I'm Rusty, signing off.
