The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the coming days. Straight up, I’m looking at Ristorante or La Toscana, a reef break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the swell. The water is sitting at a balmy 84°, which is a massive 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so you’ll be surfing in a bath.
Now, the bad news first. We’ve got a long, dry spell on our hands. From Monday the 31st of August right through until the morning of Friday the 11th of September, it’s pretty much a dead zone. The swell is tiny, often non-existent, with a combined wave energy barely cracking double digits. The biggest we see is 2ft on the Sunday morning of the 6th, but it’s weak and cross-on, so it’s a write-off. You’d be better off swimming.
The first real sign of life comes on the morning of Friday the 11th of September. We’re looking at a 3ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 6 seconds. It’s not a groundswell, but the wind is light and cross-off, keeping things clean. The combined energy hits 82, which is still weak, but it’s the best we’ve seen. It’s listed as 'surfable waves but very ordinary conditions' – I’d call it a small, clean session for the patient. The afternoon turns choppy, so the morning is your only window.
The morning of Saturday the 12th of September is a similar story, with a 3ft WSW swell and clean conditions, but the energy drops to 46. That’s it for the window. After that, from Sunday the 13th onwards, the taps turn off again. Swell drops to nothing, with barely a ripple.
So, the only standout here is the morning of Friday the 11th of September. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only thing worth paddling out for. Expect small, clean waves on the reef at Ristorante. It gets crowded sometimes, so you might have a few friends out there. For the rest of this 16-day run, honestly, don’t bother. There’s a solid 10-day drought at the start, and then a few small windows before it goes flat again. Keep your board waxed and wait for the next system.
Rusty.
