The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’.

First off, the water's sitting at about 74° which is a good nine degrees warmer than what we’d normally expect this time of year. That’s real unusual, a real warm blanket on the water.

As for the surf, well, I’ll be straight with ya – it’s a long, tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but honestly, it’s a lean run. The first real whisper of anything worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Sunday, the 27th of September. Up until then, we’ve got day after day of tiny, weak swell with lousy cross-onshore or onshore wind. The wave heights are barely a ripple, mostly 1 ft to 3 ft, and the energy reading is all under 500, meaning it’s weak to moderate at best. The commentary on most days says "poor surf conditions" or "marginal." It’s pretty flat and messy.

The one standout, and I mean the only one that gets my heart beating, is the morning of Sunday, the 27th. Point Dume Little Dume is looking at a crisp morning with glassy conditions. That’s zero wind – a rare gift. The swell is a modest 2 ft coming from the SSW, with a period of 12 seconds. That’s a long period for such a small wave, which means it’ll have some form, and the energy reading is 263 – solid but not thumping. For a point break like Dume, that long period is a good thing; it’ll wrap in nicely without turning into a closeout. This is the one chance to get a few clean, well-shaped rides before the afternoon cross-onshore wind ruins it. It’s inconsistent, so don’t expect a ton of waves, but the ones that come through will be worth the wait. Crowds are often an issue here, so get in early.

After that, it’s back to a mix of small, onshore slop for the rest of the period. The 28th morning might offer a tiny window with 3 ft, but the wind is onshore, so it’s not a winner.

So, in short: don’t bother with the first two weeks. Save your energy for Sunday, the 27th of September, for a glassy, low-stakes session at Dume.

Rusty.
