The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what we’ve got on the cards for Point o Rocks.
Look, I’m going to level with you—this 16-day stretch is a tough one. There’s a long, dry gap from now until the morning of Monday, September 6th, where there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy is stuck in the weak range (values of 0 to 4) for days on end, and most of the time the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, messing up what little bump there is.
The first time we see anything with a pulse is on the morning of Sunday, September 6th. A tiny 1ft swell from the WNW, with a short period of 5 seconds, but the wind is light and cross-offshore from the SE. That combo gives us clean conditions, so you could get on the smallest of grovel boards and have a fun little session. The combined energy is still only weak (8), so don’t expect any power.
The morning of Monday, September 7th, brings a tiny swell bump up to 2ft from the WSW, period still short at 4 seconds. The wind is light cross-on from the WNW, which is a bit messy, but combined energy is still weak (16). It’s not terrible, but it’s not great either.
The standout, such as it is, falls on Tuesday, September 8th. The swell is still a tiny 2ft from the WSW, but the period lifts to 6 seconds, and the combined energy nudges up to 18 (still weak). The wind is light onshore from the WSW in the morning. It’s the best of a pretty average bunch, but honestly, this is a week away and conditions are marginal at best.
Point o Rocks is a point break that’s inconsistent and needs a decent swell from the SW to really work. This forecast has none of that. The water temperature is reading 88°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—it feels like bath water.
Honestly, for most of this window, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The surf is just not here.
Stay patient. Forecasts can change.
Rusty.
