The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pike for Ponquogue The Bowl. We’ve got a long stretch ahead, but don’t get your hopes up too early.
Gonna be a slow start, real slow. The first week is pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at tiny, weak swell and mostly cross or onshore winds. Wednesday the 9th through the weekend of the 14th is just a whole lot of nothing – those waves are flat and choppy. There’s a little bump on Monday morning the 14th with some glassy 3ft surf, but it’s ordinary. You’d be better off staying home.
The real talking point comes in the second week. The standout here is Monday the 21st of September. We’ve got a solid 5ft swell from the East, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is going clean cross-offshore. The combined energy is strong, hitting 413 (moderate wave energy). It’s not massive, but it’s the best we’ve seen by a long shot. It’s a Monday though, so even if it’s a little lumpy, you might have it to yourself – crowds are only “sometimes” an issue here. That afternoon session is the one to circle.
Tuesday the 22nd also has a chance, with 3ft from the ESE and clean offshore winds from the NW. It’s not a standout, but a clean 3ft with a light breeze is a fun little surf. After that, it fades out again into the 23rd and 24th with smaller, weaker pulses.
So, to be straight with you: the first week is a dud, and the second week only has one or two proper windows. The best bet is Monday the 21st. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath on the rest.
Rusty.
