The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty average run for Ristorante, also known as La Toscana. The swell is tiny and the wind is mostly a menace. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is a whopping 5° warmer than you’d expect for this time of year – that’s properly unusual, like bath water.
We kick off on Thursday the 20th of August, but there’s nothing to get excited about. The swell is a measly 2 ft from the SW with a short period of 5 seconds and the combined energy is only 19 (weak). The wind is a light cross-shore from the SE, but those little wind ripples just ruin it. It’s a write-off.
Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd are more of the same, really. Tiny, weak swell and messy winds. Saturday morning does see a light, clean cross-off breeze from the east with a 3 ft WSW swell (period 6s, energy 70), but it’s still pretty ordinary. Not worth paddling out for.
Sunday the 23rd of August morning is a tease – glassy conditions with the wind swinging light NE, but the swell has dropped to just 1 ft from the WSW. It’s flat, really.
Monday the 24th through Tuesday the 25th sees a proper flat spell. Zero swell. The water is glassy but there’s nothing to catch.
Wednesday the 26th of August morning is glassy again, but we only get a tiny 1 ft SSW swell. Not enough to ride.
Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th start to show a bit more energy. Friday the 28th morning has a 5 ft WSW swell with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is 295 (moderate), so there’s some push there. But the wind is a gentle cross-onshore from the south, making it choppy. Friday afternoon the energy jumps to 454 (moderate-strong) with a 5 ft swell, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the SSW. It’s messy, choppy water that looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddling.
Saturday the 29th of August morning gives us a glimmer of hope. The wind goes glassy from the NNE, and the swell drops back to 2 ft from the WSW. It’s clean, but tiny. A longboard could get a few if you’re desperate.
From Sunday the 30th of August right through to Friday the 4th of September, it’s back to flat or near-flat conditions. The swell never gets above 2 ft, and when there is a puff of energy, the wind is cross-on or onshore. A few mornings are glassy, but there’s simply no swell to use them.
The standout? If you had to pick the best of a bad bunch, it would be Friday the 28th of August morning for the size (5 ft WSW), but the choppy cross-onshore wind and poor surf conditions mean it's only for the hardcore. The crowds at Ristorante are sometimes an issue, but with this outlook, I doubt anyone will be out.
Honestly, there’s a big gap of flat or near-flat days. It’s a long 16-day window with hardly anything worth getting wet for.
Rusty.
