The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the charts are looking pretty grim for Point o Rocks over the next couple of weeks. We've got a long, dry spell ahead with barely a ripple to get excited about. If you're looking for a paddle, you might be better off finding a pool.
The first real chance for a surf comes on Monday afternoon, the 7th of September. We're talking a tiny 1ft of weak, short-period swell from the west, with a combined energy of just (2). The wind is a moderate onshore breeze, so it's not going to be pretty. The water is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Honestly, the outlook doesn't improve much. Tuesday the 8th offers a 0.7ft swell with glassy conditions in the morning, but the energy is basically non-existent (1). Wednesday the 9th through to the weekend is a total flat spell with zero combined energy.
We'll see a tiny pulse of 0.7ft to 1ft swell from the south-southeast creep in around Sunday the 13th, but the energy is weak (3-4). The best of this very poor run is likely Tuesday morning, the 15th of September. It's still only 1ft at 4 seconds from the SSE, but with a glassy wind and clean conditions, it might offer a few knee-high dribblers for the desperate. The water temp anomaly is not provided for these days, so I can't comment on that.
The second week doesn't bring any salvation. The 20th and 21st of September have a bit of offshore wind, which is a good sign for the shape, but the swell is still tiny and the energy is pathetic (2-3). The 22nd of September has a fresh offshore breeze but again, no swell to speak of.
The bottom line is, there's nothing even close to rideable here for the entire 16-day window. Point o Rocks is an inconsistent spot, and this is one of those blank runs that's more normal for the area. It's a kite surfer's dream for the wind, but for us surfers, it's a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but for now, don't bother.
Rusty.
