The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what we've got for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch of surf ahead. For the vast majority of the 16-day window, we're looking at flat, weak, or just plain messy conditions. The first few days of the run are a real struggle, with very small, short-period windswell or no swell at all. The water is a real talking point though – it's running at 84°, which is a massive 6° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's very unusual.
We kick off Wednesday the 26th on the afternoon, but there's no point paddling out just yet. The swell is a tiny 1.0ft from the SSW with a period of 6 seconds, and it's coming with a 9 mph onshore wind from the SW. The combined energy is a measly (10), so it's a total washout. The only real break on the cards is Ristorante, or La Toscana, a reef setup that's fairly consistent. It's an intermediate spot, exposed to the SW swell.
The rest of the first week and into the start of September is a real desert. We get a few cleaner moments – like Thursday the 27th morning with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is just 0.7ft. The glassy mornings on the 31st of August and 1st of September look beautiful, but again, there's nothing to ride. The combined energy barely registers a single digit. There's a solid 8-day gap here with no real surf to speak of.
Things finally start to show a pulse around the 9th of September. Wednesday the 9th morning sees a 2ft swell from the WSW, period of 5 seconds, with a clean cross-offshore wind from the SE. The energy is still weak at (18), but it's a start. The afternoon gets a bit bigger at 3ft, but a 16 mph cross-onshore wind makes it a choppy mess.
Now, the standout in the whole forecast, but you've got to wait for it, is Thursday the 10th of September. This is the only day that grabs your attention. The morning brings a solid 7ft swell from the WSW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to (848) – that's a strong pulse of energy. That's a solid size, getting into the territory where only experienced surfers will want to be out. The wind is from the S at 9 mph, which is cross-onshore. It's not perfect, but for a reef break like Ristorante, that size of swell and that energy is the best we're going to see. The afternoon drops to 4ft, but the wind picks up and remains cross-onshore, so the morning window is the one to target. It's a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but it's the only real option in the entire 16-day window.
So, to sum it up: a long, long dry spell, then one big, powerful day that's worth waiting for. Keep your board waxed for the 10th.
Rusty.
