The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here, and let's chew the fat on what's coming down the pipe for the next couple of weeks.
It's a bit of a slow burner, but there's some gold to be found. For the first week, we're looking at Point Roadnight as the main event. It's a fickle point break that only turns on when the stars align, but when they do, it's a proper wave. The one to circle is the 8th of September. Tuesday morning is looking glassy with a clean 3ft SW groundswell—long 18-second intervals—giving us moderate wave energy. The water is about average temp for this time of year. The wind is dead calm, so it'll be smooth. That's a rare combo for this spot, and it won't last long, so get in there.
Tuesday afternoon keeps the goods coming with a light offshore breeze and the swell pushing up to 5ft, still clean and holding that sweet long-period energy. That’s the pick of the first half of the forecast.
The rest of the week gets gnarly. Wednesday the 9th sees the wind howling at 19 mph, and the swell jumps to 8ft—that’s big and raw, only for the experienced crew. Thursday and Friday are still big with head-high sets, but the wind angle isn't perfect, so the face will be a bit bumpy. Saturday the 12th gives us another shot—a glassy afternoon with a clean 5ft SW groundswell and a period of 15 seconds. With no wind, you'll have a clean, lined-up wave to yourself if you can find it.
Then we hit a dry spell. From Sunday the 13th through the middle of the month, the swell drops out and the wind gets messy. Weak, small, and scrappy. That’s just how it goes here—it's either pumping or flat.
But hold tight. Looking way ahead to the 21st of September, we’ve got another promising window. Monday morning is forecast to be glassy again with 6ft of SW groundswell, a long 16-second period, and solid energy. The wind is flat calm. It’s a long way off, so don’t book your flights yet, but right now that’s the best-looking session in the second week.
So, short story: Be on it Tuesday the 8th for the best clean point surf, and keep an eye on the 21st of September for a potential late-session classic.
Stay salty,
Rusty
