The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for our local break.

The overall pattern is a bit of a bummer, to be honest. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly poor surf with not much to get excited about. The first decent chance doesn't pop up until the end of the month, and even then, it's a marginal call.

For the first week and a half, from the 18th of August right through to the 27th, it's pretty grim. Swell heights are hanging around 1ft to 2ft, with a tiny bit of energy on the 25th morning pushing 2ft from the SW. The wind is mostly cross-on or light and onshore, keeping things choppy or just messy. There's a long-period groundswell in the mix, with periods over 15 seconds, but the weak energy means the waves are just too small and weak to do anything with. The water temperature is a notable 71°F, which is a massive 6°F above the long-term average for this time of year, so it's much warmer than normal for a swim, but that's about the only highlight.

We then hit a bit of a gap with no real recommendations until the 29th of August. That Saturday morning, the swell picks up a touch to 3ft from the SSW with a 16-second period. The energy is moderate, and the wind is light and onshore, which is promising. That's the best we get, but it's still only a marginal call. The following day, Sunday the 30th, is similar but with a slightly shorter period. The afternoon on both days gets ruined by a cross-on breeze.

The standout, if you can call it that, is Point Dume Little Dume (United States) on the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. You'll see a 3ft SSW swell, with that long 16-second period giving it a bit of shape. The light, onshore wind will keep it fairly clean. Keep in mind this spot is a point break that's inconsistent, so don't expect a party. And with crowds marked as "often", you'll have company. The water remains much warmer than average, so you won't need a thick suit.

After that, from the 31st of August onwards, the pattern drops back into poor, small, and choppy conditions right through to the 2nd of September. It's a pretty flat run to end the outlook.

Rusty.
