The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looking at the whole 16-day stretch for this spot, I gotta be straight with you – there’s nothing on offer. Not one clean, decent wave in the whole run. The swell’s tiny and the wind’s just about always mucking things up, blowing cross-on or onshore. It’s a pretty unusual blank run, but sometimes a break like this just goes quiet for a while.
We start off on Thursday the 30th of July with a tiny 2ft swell from the NE and a moderate breeze blowing straight onshore. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 74°. It's small, it's messy – not worth paddling out. That sets the tone for the next two weeks.
Friday the 31st, the swell drops even more – 3ft in the morning but with a cross-on breeze, and by the afternoon it’s back down to 2ft and onshore again. Saturday the 1st of August is super weak, with the swell barely reaching 1ft; the morning’s clean-ish but with next to no energy. The wind goes cross-off in the morning but the surf is practically flat. From there it’s just day after day of small, choppy, cross-on conditions all the way through to the 14th of August. The combined swell energy barely scrapes into triple digits a couple of times – around 100 to 149 – but with all that wind, it’s not doing anyone any favours.
There’s no standout here. No hidden gem waiting for the right tide. The best you can hope for is maybe a few waist-high wobblers on the 12th of August morning when the swell bumps to 3ft from the NNE with a 9-second period and a gentle cross-onshore breeze, but even then the conditions are “fairly choppy.” Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the persistent sideshore and onshore winds.
Hang in there. Swell windows can open up quickly, and forecasts change.
Rusty.
