The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, letting you know what’s up with the surf over the next couple weeks.
We’re looking at Quatro-Once (411) as the main spot – a consistent point break that likes swell from the south-southwest. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, so nothing crazy.
Sunday the 30th kicks off with chest-high swell around 5ft from the southwest, with a 14-second period, but the wind is on it and there’s thunderstorms around. The combined swell energy is beefy, over 1000 (1037–1008), so there’s a lot of power, but it’s not clean. Monday the 31st drops to about 4ft, same direction, but the afternoon goes glassy. That’s the first real standout – glassy, clean conditions, and the energy is still solid (519). Tuesday morning on the 1st of September is clean too with a cross-off breeze and 4ft of swell.
Now, the best on offer is Thursday morning, September 4th. Swell is 4ft from the southwest, but the period jumps to 17 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, long lines. Combined energy is over 1000 (1072) and it’s glassy. This is a morning for the experienced surfer, no doubt. The point will be reeling, and while crowds might be around, the waves will be worth it.
Saturday the 5th sees the swell push up to 6ft with a 16-second period, but the wind is cross-on and stronger, so it’s going to be lumpy. The energy is huge (1613), so if you don’t mind a bit of chop, there’s still plenty of push. Sunday the 6th is similar at around 5ft, but the wind stays cross-on.
The second week settles down. Monday the 7th has a clean morning with a cross-off breeze and 4ft of swell. Tuesday the 8th has a clean morning with 3ft of swell but a super long 18-second period – that’s very long period groundswell, so the point will be organizing it beautifully. Thursday the 10th morning is glassy with 4ft of swell and energy still strong (988). The sizes drop by the 13th and 14th to around 2ft to 3ft, but the period stays long, so there’ll be the odd set for the patient.
The standout is clear: Thursday morning, September 4th – glassy, strong groundswell, and plenty of power. Other clean mornings like the 31st, 1st, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th are all worth a paddle, just with slightly smaller waves. Get out early.
Rusty.
