The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and we’ve got a long, slow, drawn-out story for Point Dume Little Dume. This is a classic point break that needs the right angle, and honestly, for the next couple of weeks, it looks like we’ll be waiting on a lot of "marginal" conditions. There’s a big gap with no decent surf to speak of right from the start, and then it’s mostly small, onshore waves.
The water is a very unusual 70° at the start – that’s much warmer than normal for late August, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
The first hint of something more interesting shows up around the morning of Wednesday, August 26. We’ve got a 3.6ft swell from the S with period around 13 seconds, and the energy is moderate (546). The wind is light and cross, but it’s still listed as marginal due to the wind state. Not quite clean enough to get excited about.
The best-looking period of the whole 16-day stretch looks to be from the morning of Saturday, August 29, through the afternoon of Sunday, September 6. The swell is consistently in the 2.9ft to 3.9ft range, mostly from the SSW, with periods hanging around 15-19 seconds — that’s good long-period groundswell that a point like this loves. The water temp anomaly is still very warm.
The standout session in that stretch has to be the morning of Friday, September 4. We’ve got a 3.3ft SSW swell, with a period of 18 seconds and strong wave energy (678). The wind is light from the SSE, which is cross-onshore but very light, so it should be glassy with only tiny wind ripples. That long period will wrap nicely into the point, and with it being a point break, it should hold that shape better than a beach break. Since this spot is inconsistent, catching it on a day like this is a real treat.
Crowds are *often* a factor here, so get there early.
After that, the swell fades a touch through the first weekend of September, still with some reasonable 2.9ft to 3.6ft SSW swell and moderate to strong energy (530 to 693), but the onshore winds pick up a bit in the afternoons, so mornings will be the call.
For the second week into early September, the pattern holds: small SSW groundswell with middling wind. Nothing huge, but a few morning windows look clean enough for a point break slow session.
That Friday, September 4 morning is your best bet. Lock it in.
