The Lowdown
G'day, this is Rusty.
The next couple of weeks are looking pretty tough for a paddle. While there are a few pulses of swell showing on the charts, we’re really fighting the wind almost the whole way. The water temperature is a wild 3° warmer than average for the time of year, which is very unusual – it’s going to feel like a warm bath out there at Ristorante (La Toscana).
We kick off on Sunday the 16th of August with a glassy morning, but it's only a tiny 0.7ft swell from the west, so it's still barely anything to get excited about. The energy is basically zero (1), so it's a morning for a longboard if you're desperate.
Through the week, a bit more energy starts to show, but the wind just won't play ball. Monday the 17th has clean conditions in the morning, but the swell is still missing. By Tuesday the 18th we get a bit of a pulse – 3ft from the south-west with 52 units of energy – but the cross-off morning breeze keeps it clean-ish. Still, the period is short at 6 seconds, so it'll be weak and crumbly.
The first real nod towards something better comes on Saturday the 22nd of August. The morning shows 4ft from the south, with a light cross-off breeze keeping things clean (79 energy). The report calls it "surfable but ordinary," which is about right. Not a standout, but easily the best morning of the first week.
We then hit a long, frustrating gap with no real recommendations. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore nearly every day, and the swell is either tiny or messy. Monday the 24th afternoon has a jump in energy to 114 from 4ft west-south-west, but it's cross-on at 16 mph, making it a choppy mess. Tuesday the 25th also has some decent energy (154) from 4ft west-south-west, but the same cross-on wind kills it. This setup is really more interesting for a kite than a surfboard.
We finally see a little hope on the very last day of the forecast, Sunday the 30th of August. The morning is glassy with 3ft from the south-south-west, period picking up to 7 seconds, and 94 units of energy. The report says "surfable but very ordinary conditions," but with glassy conditions and a pulse of energy, that’s as close to a ‘best of the bunch’ as this stretch gets. It’s still small and the period is short, so temper expectations. If you’re free that morning, it’ll be the cleanest wave you’ll find in a long, slow run.
Stay patient, folks. This stretch is a real test of commitment.
Rusty.
