The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at this stretch of coast.
First off, the water’s sitting at 66°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing drastic, just a little extra comfort for the session.
Right now we’re in a flat spell. The first few days are a write-off for any proper surfing. Tuesday the 25th through to Friday the 28th, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell with poor conditions all round. The energy is barely registering, with combined swell energy values under 100 for much of that time. Don’t bother paddling out for that.
Things start to get interesting on Saturday the 29th morning. The wind goes fresh offshore from the SW, and the swell bumps up to 5ft from the west. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s a bit raw and lumpy, but the combined energy jumps to 294 – that’s moderate power. It’s a bit on the bigger side for beginners, but for the advanced crew, there’s something to play with. The afternoon stays okay, still clean with cross-off wind, but the swell period drops to 7 seconds.
Sunday the 30th is a bit of a mixed bag. Morning offshore wind keeps things clean, with 4ft swell from the WNW and moderate energy (143). The afternoon brings a risk of thunderstorms and stronger winds, but it stays cross-off. It’s surfable, but nothing to get too excited about.
Now, pay attention to Monday the 31st. That morning we’ve got 8ft of WNW swell, combined energy hitting 904 – that’s strong wave energy. The wind is cross-off from the WNW, 15 mph, keeping the surface clean. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s middling, not super long. This is getting into expert territory size-wise; it’s too big for anyone not confident in overhead waves. The afternoon is similar with 7ft, energy at 887, still clean.
Tuesday the 1st of September brings a nice morning. Offshore wind from the SW at 15 mph, 5ft WNW swell, period up to 10 seconds, and combined energy at 492 – solid moderate power. It’s clean, the wind is offshore, and the swell has decent shape. This is one of the better windows, especially for the more experienced surfer. The afternoon sees more size and power, with 7ft and fresh offshore wind, but it’s getting big again.
Wednesday the 2nd is a step down in quality. Cross-off wind, 7ft WNW swell, but the energy is still strong at 629. It’s clean but not as crisp as Tuesday.
The second week gets patchy, but there’s one standout on Tuesday the 8th of September that’s worth circling in the calendar for the experts. That morning we’re looking at a solid 12ft NW swell with a very long period of 15 seconds, energy at a massive 5808 – that’s very strong. Fresh offshore wind from the SW, 19 mph, keeping it clean. This is a serious groundswell. That kind of period will make it line up well at reef and point setups, but at a beach-and-reef spot like this, it could be challenging to find the right take-off. It’s huge – strictly for the experienced big-wave crew. The afternoon drops to 10ft with 14-second period, still powerful but slightly more manageable.
The following morning, Wednesday the 9th, the swell drops to 6ft, period down to 8 seconds, but the wind goes light offshore from the WSW, and the conditions are described as “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s the pick for the average surfer in the second week – clean, smaller, and fun.
Overall, the first real quality comes on Saturday the 29th, but the best bets are Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st for solid, clean waves with decent power. The big, risky standout is Tuesday the 8th for the experts. For most of us, Wednesday the 9th morning is the one to target – light wind, clean, and not too heavy.
Keep an eye on the forecasts, as things can change. Stay stoked.
