The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way at Right Point, Cat Bay.
We've got a solid run of surf on the horizon, but it's a bit of a mixed bag with the winds. The water's sitting at 57°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The real action kicks off next week. The standout session is shaping up for Monday afternoon, September 21st. We're looking at a solid 8ft swell out of the southwest, with a light breeze swinging offshore. That's going to produce clean, powerful lines off the point. The energy is strong, and that southwest direction is exactly what this break prefers. It's a bit of a wait, but this one's worth circling on the calendar for experienced surfers.
Before that, there are a few other windows. Wednesday morning, September 16th, has a clean 5ft swell out of the southwest with a light offshore breeze, making for a tidy session. Then Saturday afternoon, September 12th, is a treat with glassy conditions and a 5ft southwest swell. It's a bit smaller, but that glassy surface will make every wave feel like a million bucks.
The big swells mid-week, like the 10ft on Wednesday, September 9th, are clean but seriously powerful, and that's expert territory only. The rest of the period is a bit of a battle with onshore winds, so don't expect much from those days.
Just keep in mind that Right Point is inconsistent, and crowds can show up sometimes, so if you see a clean window, get out there early.
Rusty.
