Right Point (Cat Bay) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Right out of the gate, we've got a bit of a slow start. The first decent swell we see is a bit messy, with strong winds making things tough. The water's sitting at 57°F, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year.

The real standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is Thursday the 10th of September at Right Point (Cat Bay). The forecast is showing a solid 12ft of SW swell rolling in with a nice long 16-second period. The combined energy is massive at 9388, so there's plenty of power. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, which will keep things reasonably clean. But honest truth, at this size, this is strictly for the experienced crew. The wave comment says it's predicted to be too big for this break, so if you're not confident, give it a miss.

The rest of the week has some fun but not perfect windows. On Tuesday the 8th, we get a 5ft SW swell with a 17-second period, but the wind is cross-shore and it's a bit marginal. Saturday the 12th afternoon looks promising – 5ft of SW swell with a 15-second period, and the wind goes glassy. That's a rare treat, so if you can get out then, you'll have some clean, smooth lines, even if it's not the biggest.

Looking further out, the second week gets a bit more interesting again. Tuesday the 15th of September afternoon sees a 10ft SW swell with a 13-second period and clean cross-offshore winds. The data says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers," and with a combined energy of 2407, it's got some punch. Then Wednesday the 16th of September afternoon offers 7ft of SW swell at 16 seconds with light cross-offshore winds, another clean, powerful option for the better surfers.

Closer to the end of the run, Sunday the 20th of September morning looks clean with 5ft of SW swell and light cross-offshore winds. And Monday the 21st of September afternoon is a real highlight for the second week – 8ft of SW swell with a 14-second period and clean cross-offshore winds. The data labels it as "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers," and with a combined energy of 2764, it's got some serious grunt.

There are a few days in between where the wind is just too gnarly, especially around the 13th and 14th with strong onshore winds making a mess of things. And by the 18th, it's near gale-force, so forget about it then.

Bottom line: keep your eyes on Thursday the 10th for the biggest, heaviest swell, and Saturday the 12th afternoon for the glassy, clean session. The second week has some solid, powerful options for the experienced lot, especially Tuesday the 15th and Monday the 21st.

Stay salty,
Rusty
