The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks. We got one spot on the menu, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. Right now, the straight-up truth is the first week is a write-off. We’re lookin’ at a solid week of nothin’ but blown-out, cross-shore slop with near-gale winds. The water temp is sittin’ right around 56°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The story starts to change around Monday, August 3rd. We got a proper window of clean conditions settin’ up. The standout session is Monday afternoon (August 3rd) at Right Point (Cat Bay). You’re lookin’ at a solid 8ft swell from the WSW, with a gentle offshore breeze from the SSE. That’s a clean setup for a point break, and the wave energy is strong (4301). This is a big, powerful groundswell with a period of 14 seconds, so it’ll have some punch. It’s gonna be a proper session for experienced surfers; anythin’ over 8ft is expert territory here. The break is inconsistent, so you’ll have to wait for the sets, but when they come, they’ll be worth it. The crowd factor is just “sometimes,” so you might get a few out, but it won’t be a zoo.
Before that, Monday morning (August 3rd) is also a goer with 6ft from the SW and a light cross-offshore breeze, givin’ you excellent, clean conditions for the experienced crew. After that, the swell drops off into the mid-week, but the winds stay kind. Wednesday afternoon (August 5th) offers a small, clean 3ft swell with a gentle offshore breeze from the SE – a nice little window for a longboard or a funboard if you’re just lookin’ to get wet.
The second week gets a bit bumpy again with a few onshore days, but there’s a late call for Friday, August 7th. Friday afternoon looks promising with a 5ft swell from the SW, clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the east, and wave energy in the moderate range (1354). That’s a solid, clean option as we head into the weekend.
Overall, the best on offer is definitely Monday, August 3rd. Don’t bother with the first week; it’s a total mess. Hold out for that Monday, and you’ll be rewarded.
Rusty.
