The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk surf for the next couple weeks. Honestly, looking at this stretch, we’ve got a long, flat, and frustrating wait ahead. For the entire forecast window, there’s really only one morning that even gets a nod, and it’s not exactly firing.
For the first nine or ten days, from now through to the end of August, it’s mostly flat or tiny dribble. A few mornings you might see knee-high slop at 0.7ft with a weak period around 3 to 5 seconds, and the combined swell energy is barely a whisper, values like 1 or 27 (very weak). Winds are often light or glassy early, but there’s just no push. It’s the kind of period where you’re better off waxing your board and waiting.
The one standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Sunday the 30th of August at Ristorante (also known as La Toscana). This is a reef break rated for intermediates, and it’s fairly consistent, but it rarely sees decent surf. On that morning, we’ve got a 5ft swell from the WSW with a period of 7 seconds. Combined swell energy reads 178 (moderate). The wind is light and offshore from the NNE, so conditions should be clean with a glassy surface. It’s surfable, but the waves are ordinary, not great. For a spot that’s often flat, this is your best chance. Watch out for crowds though, it can get busy here. Water temperature is sitting at 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, over 5° above average, so it’s like a warm bath out there.
After that morning, the afternoon of the 30th gets choppy with cross-onshore wind, and from then on it’s back to small, weak dribble or flat spells right through to the 6th of September. There are long gaps of three or four days with absolutely no surfable waves (combined energy zero). The occasional 1ft to 2ft bump shows up, but with poor wind and weak energy (under 50), it’s not worth paddling out for.
So, bottom line: if you’re desperate, mark out Sunday morning the 30th of August at Ristorante. Otherwise, the forecast is a long, flat drag. It won’t stay this way forever, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
