The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty here.
Well, to be honest, this is a tough stretch for us. We're looking at a full 16-day window, and the swell is just about non-existent. There's essentially a gap of poor conditions from now right through until the 19th of August. For most of that time, we're seeing tiny slop under 2ft, with messy cross-onshore winds. There's a little moment of glass early on the 14th and 15th, but even then there's no real energy to work with – it's just flat and clean. The combined energy barely cracks single digits for most of this period, which really tells the story. You'd be better off finding something else to do.
Now, things start to look a little more interesting around the 20th. The standout in this whole outlook is Thursday, August 20th at Point o Rocks. We've got a 2ft swell rolling in from the west with a 6-second period, and the wind is going light offshore from the northeast. That’s the kind of wind direction that can clean up this point nicely. The combined energy jumps right up to 58 which, believe me, is a big deal compared to the flatness we've been seeing. The water temp is sitting at 86°, and the anomaly is 1°, so it's feeling pretty normal for this time of year. Keep in mind, this break is inconsistent and can be a bit fickle, so you'll need a bit of patience. The swell direction from the west is right in its sweet spot for that optimum SW direction. After that, Friday the 21st through the weekend sees the swell dropping back to 1ft and below, with better offshore winds again, but the energy just isn't there to make anything of it.
So, to wrap it up: the 16-day window is almost a total write-off, except for Thursday the 20th. That’s your one real chance for a surfable wave with clean conditions. Get on it if you can, because it doesn't look like much else is coming.
Rusty.
