The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here.
Gotta be honest, this stretch is struggling. There’s a long dry spell before we get anything worth talking about. The first real possibility isn’t until Monday the 24th of August, and even then it’s just a marginal 2ft S swell with iffy conditions. From Thursday the 20th through Sunday the 23rd, the waves are tiny and the wind’s all over the place – that’s a five-day blank.
Point Dume Little Dume – your only option here. It’s an inconsistent point break that doesn’t fire often. Water temp is 71°, which is way warmer than usual – more than 3 degrees above the norm, so it’s like bath water.
The first real glimmer is Wednesday the 26th of August. The morning brings a 3ft S swell with moderate energy (604), and light onshore wind that won’t ruin it completely. But it’s still only marginal, probably a tide issue. That afternoon the swell pushes to 4ft from the S, but the wind gets choppy with a moderate cross-onshore. Not worth it.
Thursday the 27th has a 4ft SSW swell in the morning with light wind, still marginal. Afternoon goes back to chop.
Now, Friday the 28th of August – that’s your gold. The afternoon is the clear standout. A 3ft SSW swell, the wind dies to dead calm – glassy conditions – and the energy is solid at 543. The swell period is 13 seconds, a decent groundswell, and it’s coming from the right direction for the point. This is the one window where Point Dume Little Dume could really work. Keep in mind, it’s an inconsistent break, so expect long waits between sets, and crowds are likely because everyone will be out for that glass.
After that, it’s a slog. Saturday and Sunday the 29th and 30th still have some 3ft SSW swell, but the wind turns messy with cross-onshore slop. Monday the 31st drops to 3ft. Then we hit a flat stretch from Tuesday the 1st of September through Thursday the 3rd, with tiny 1ft waves and onshore wind.
There’s one last flicker on Friday the 4th of September – a 2ft SSW swell in the morning with light wind, but it’s only marginal. The energy is moderate (326), and the period is a very long 18 seconds. That kind of long period at a point could be interesting, but the swell is too small to get excited about.
The clear standout is Friday afternoon the 28th of August. Glassy, fun-sized, and the point might just line up. Circle that date.
Rusty.
