The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same rundown in feet and miles per hour.
Water temp is 66°F, right on the average for this time of year.
The start is slow. Saturday the 5th has tiny 3ft S swell with glassy morning conditions—you’d need a longboard to get any joy. Sunday the 6th morning is the first real standout: 8ft of S swell with clean offshore wind. The combined energy is moderate (700) and the period is short at 8 seconds, but the offshore breeze will make it rideable. For intermediate surfers, that’s your window.
Monday the 7th morning stays clean with 6ft and offshore wind, but it falters in the afternoon. Tuesday the 8th is a total loss with onshore slop.
Now the big one: Sunday the 13th. You’re looking at 18ft of SSE groundswell with a 13-second period and offshore wind. Energy is massive (15117), and the swell direction lines up with the optimum SE. This is strictly for experts—far too big for anyone else. The wind will make it a raw, powerful beast.
Monday the 14th is still excellent for experienced surfers: 8ft of SE swell, 11-second period, light offshore wind and clean. Strong energy (1910) and a proper groundswell.
The second week is quieter, with a few glassy mornings like the 16th and 19th bringing 4ft to 7ft of easterly swell. Sunday the 20th offers 8ft of ENE swell, glassy in the morning and moderate energy (822)—a good session, but nothing compared to that huge Sunday.
Best of the early run: Sunday the 6th morning. Absolute standout: Sunday the 13th for the big-wave crew. Be there if you’re keen.
Rusty.
