The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and let’s be straight – Ristorante is going to be a tough watch for most of the next two weeks. For a reef break that needs a solid SW groundswell and clean wind, we’ve got a long dry spell on the cards.
The water is sitting at 84°, which is a solid 5° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, almost like the ocean’s had a hot bath, but don’t expect that warmth to bring any waves.
Most of the days from August 17th right through to the morning of August 29th are a write-off – poor surf conditions dominate. There’s a consistent lack of proper swell, with weak energy readings mostly under 100 and barely sniffing 3 ft. The few moments with a bit more push, like Saturday August 22nd afternoon with 4 ft WSW swell showing a combined energy of 193, are ruined by a cross-onshore wind from the S that’ll keep it messy. The swell periods hover around 4 to 6 seconds, short-period junk that won’t wrap in clean.
There’s one true standout. Saturday August 30th morning is the best on offer. We’ll see 5 ft of S swell with a period of 8 seconds, packing solid moderate energy at 318. The wind is glassy – NE at just 3 mph – so the surface will be clean as a whistle at this reef. It’s not huge, but for the setup here, it’s the best bet, and there’s just enough juice. Crowds can pop up here sometimes, so be ready for company.
Before that, Saturday August 29th morning is a bit of a tease – 6 ft SSE swell, 5-second period, and glassy conditions give it a combined energy of 155, but it’s still just surfable, not good. The period is too short for real quality.
After the 30th, the swell fades again fast. Monday August 31st and into September 1st sees the energy drop back to weak levels with onshore winds. It’s a blank run after that, so take your chance on the 30th morning.
Rusty.
