The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf outlook for the local area.
Honestly, folks, I’m looking at the next 16 days and it’s a tough stretch. There’s just no real swell to get excited about. We’re looking at a long, flat run with only tiny, weak pulses that won’t even get a surfer out of bed. The main spot we’ve got info on is Rock Island (Rimini), and it’s a beginner-friendly, fairly exposed spot that can handle a bit of swell from the NNE. But the problem is, there’s hardly any swell at all.
The water is running at a very warm 83°F, which is a massive 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s really unusual, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit, that’s for sure.
From Tuesday the 4th, we kick off with a tiny windswell. Afternoon sees a 1.0ft wave from the east with a period of just 2 seconds – that’s barely a ripple, and the combined energy is a feeble 1. The wind is a cross-on from the ENE at 9 mph, making it choppy and messy. Not worth it.
Wednesday the 5th morning is clean, glassy, and cross-offshore, but there’s zero swell. The afternoon has a 9 mph onshore wind – still no waves.
Thursday the 6th morning is glassy, but again, flat. No swell.
Friday the 7th morning has a 9 mph cross-shore wind, no swell. Afternoon brings a tiny 1ft wave from the north with a 4-second period, energy of 9. It’s onshore wind, so poor surf.
Saturday the 8th morning is clean with a 1ft, 4-second swell from the NE, energy of 7. Still tiny. The afternoon is better for size, with a 3ft swell from the ENE, period of 6 seconds, and moderate energy of 43. But the wind is onshore from the NNE at 9 mph, so it’s going to be a bit of a mess. This is probably the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still poor.
Sunday the 9th morning is clean and flat. Afternoon, a 1.0ft, 2-second wave from the NE with 1 energy and onshore wind. No good.
Monday the 10th is flat all day.
Tuesday the 11th morning has a tiny 1ft, 3-second wave from the NW with 4 energy, but it’s clean. The afternoon is a 0.7ft, 4-second wave from the NNE with 2 energy, onshore. Nothing.
The rest of the week from Wednesday the 12th through to the end of the outlook on Wednesday the 19th is all flat or tiny, with the only exception being a 0.7ft or 1.0ft blip here and there. The wind does go offshore on the morning of the 16th and 17th, but there’s nothing to ride.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the Saturday the 8th afternoon session. It’s the biggest wave at 3ft, coming from the ENE, but it’s onshore and the period is short. For a beginner, it might be a push, but it’s the only time the swell cracks 2ft. The combined energy of 43 is still weak, though.
Otherwise, it’s a long, flat gap. Don’t bother waxing up unless you’re desperate for a splash in the warm water. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a write-off.
Rusty.
