The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty.

Well folks, I’ve scanned the charts for Point Dume Little Dume, and I’ve got to be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty slim. We’ve got a run of days where the waves just aren’t going to have enough push or shape to make it worth paddling out. It’s a bit of a flat spell, which can happen around here. The good news is, it’s not going to stay poor forever—forecasts can always shift, so keep an eye on it.

We’re looking at a stretch starting now where the energy is weak. The combined swell energy is mostly sitting under 300 (297 on Monday morning, for example), which tells you there’s not much juice in the water. Sizes are tiny, mostly 1ft to 3ft, and the winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, which just chops up whatever little bumps are there. That first week, from the 17th through the 24th, is a real write-off for surf. You’re looking at poor conditions and barely a ripple.

There’s a slight glimmer on the 28th of August, Friday afternoon. We finally see a cross-offshore breeze, and the report calls for clean surf. But the swell is still weak, only 2ft from the SSW, and the combined energy is still low at 232. It’s the kind of day where a longboard might catch a few soft ones, but your shortboard will be feeling the lack of push.

The real standouts, if you can call them that, are nudging into the start of the second week. On the 29th of August, Saturday morning, the energy jumps up to 500 with a 3ft SSW swell. It’s still small, but that’s the most push we’ve seen all period. During the morning the wind is light, just a slight air, though it’s still cross-on. It’s inconsistent here, that’s the main caveat—Dume needs the right bank and the right swell to really link up.

And then on the 31st of August, Monday morning, we see something a bit more promising. There’s a 3ft SSW swell with a period of 16 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 596. That’s the strongest signal we have. The wind is light and onshore early with some rain showers, but that’s the one window where there might be some proper shape on the point. It’s still not big, but it’s a clean-ish start to the day. Just remember, this spot is inconsistent, so you gotta be there when it switches on. You won’t need to battle a crowd, but that might just be because no one else thinks it’s worth it until it actually does break.

So, the summary is this: a long, flat start, a couple of marginal days, and one morning on the 31st that’s worth checking. The water temp anomaly isn’t noted, so it’s probably about normal for this time of year.

Stay patient, it’s not always like this.

Rusty.
