The Lowdown

Right, grab a coffee, let’s talk about Point Dume Little Dume.

Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. This spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and the next couple of weeks look pretty flat and messy for the most part. We’re not talking about no waves at all, but the quality just isn’t there for a proper session. The water is sitting at 72°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year — a pleasant surprise if you’re just floating around, but it won’t help the surf.

The first real chance of anything comes on Sunday, August 16th. We’ve got a 3ft south-southwest swell rolling in with a very long 16-second period — that’s proper groundswell energy, you can feel that in the water. The combined energy is moderate at 404, so there’s some push behind it. But the wind is a light cross-onshore from the south-southwest at 6 mph, which will put small ripples on the face. It’s marginal at best, and with the tide likely being questionable, you’d be scratching for a clean one. By afternoon the wind picks up to 12 mph from the west, turning it choppy.

Monday the 17th sees similar conditions: a 3ft south-southwest swell, 15-second period, but the morning has offshore wind from the south-southwest at 6 mph. That’s a positive — glassy-ish conditions on a long-period swell at a point break can mean some tidy, walled-up lines. But it’s still small, and inconsistent. Afternoon goes cross-onshore again and gets choppy.

The rest of the week into the next is a real struggle. From Tuesday the 18th through to Saturday the 23rd, we’re looking at 1ft to 2ft south-southwest swells, periods dropping to 13-14 seconds, and combined energy falling below 200 — weak, wobbly stuff. Winds stay light and cross-onshore most days, so it’s small, messy and uninspiring. Sunday the 23rd shows a longer 19-second period on 1ft swell with offshore wind, but that’s barely a ripple.

There’s a brief flicker on Thursday the 27th morning: a 5ft west swell with a very short 6-second period. That’s windswell, not groundswell — short, fat, and not much shape. Combined energy is moderate at 320, but a 5ft beach break with such a short period and cross-onshore wind is going to be a close-out mess. That’s one for the kite crew, not for a paddle surfer.

After that, we drift back into marginal 2ft to 3ft south-southwest swells through the end of August into the 31st. Periods hover around 14-16 seconds, which is nice if there was any size, but combined energy stays in the 200-400 range — moderate but not enough to get excited about. The best morning windows have light offshore or light cross-onshore winds, so if you’re desperate, the early Sunday and Monday mornings at the end of the month might give you a few soft, clean lefts on the point, but you’ll be fighting the inconsistency.

Bottom line: there’s no standout session here. Nothing worth circling on the calendar. This is a lean period for Point Dume Little Dume, and with crowds often around, it’s probably not worth the hassle. The forecasts can always shift, but right now, leave the board at home and go do something else.
