The Lowdown
Tuesday 11th to Wednesday 20th August – Honestly, it's a write-off. We’re looking at tiny swell, often under 1.0m, with periods hanging around the 7 to 9 second mark. That's weak, short-period windswill with combined energy readings mostly in the double or low triple digits (like 56, 73, 116). The wind is a constant headache, mostly cross-onshore or cross, making everything choppy and lumpy. Even when the wind does drop on Wednesday morning the 12th for a clean window, the swell is a pathetic 0.6m. There's just no power. You'd be fighting a losing battle.
