The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming our way over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow cooker this forecast.
Overall, we’ve got a long stretch of small, ordinary surf ahead before things finally ramp up in a big way towards the end. The first real window we’re looking at starts on Friday, August 14th, but honestly, it’s a tough one to get excited about at first.
The main focus is Rodiles - Main Beach. The water’s sitting at about 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a bad thing for those dawn patrols without a full suit.
For the first week and a half, from August 14th right through to the 25th, it's a proper grind. We’re seeing tiny NW and N swells, mostly under 3 ft, with short, weak periods. The combined swell energy is low, often sitting well under 100, so don’t expect much push. There are a few fleeting moments of glassy conditions – like the morning of Saturday the 15th with a dead calm west wind, and again on the morning of Thursday the 20th with a glassy north-west wind. Those windows might give you a few crumbly, weak waves around 2 ft to 2 ft to yourself, but the word is "surfable but very ordinary." It’s a classic case of the setup looking more interesting for a kite than a paddle if you’re being honest.
The only real pulse in that first week is on the afternoon of Friday, August 21st, where a 4 ft N swell shows up with a moderate energy reading of 219, but it’s got a strong onshore wind ruining the party.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Hold onto your leash, because things change dramatically starting Friday, August 28th. A proper, heavy groundswell from the NW is forecast to hit. On Friday morning we’re looking at 7 ft waves at 11 seconds, with a cross-offshore WSW wind at 16 mph keeping things clean. The combined energy jumps to 1080 – that’s serious power. This is expert territory for sure; it’s not for the faint-hearted. By the afternoon, the swell pushes to 7 ft with a 22 mph cross-offshore breeze, and the energy is even stronger at 1172.
But the true standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Saturday, August 29th. This is the best on offer by a country mile. We’ve got a deep, groundswell from the NNW at a solid 10 ft, with a very long period of 14 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 3659. That is proper, powerful, heavy water. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the west at 6 mph, promising clean, well-shaped faces. The report says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers," and that’s bang on. This will be a day for the big boards and the big balls. Expect paddling out to be easier between the long lulls, but when those sets roll in, it’ll be solid. The morning looks perfect; the afternoon keeps the clean conditions with a similar 10 ft swell at 13 seconds. This is a no-brainer for the crew who know what they’re doing.
So, there you have it. A long flat spell that demands patience, followed by a couple of days of legit, powerful groundswell. The 29th is the clear winner, so start planning for that one. Forecasts can change that far out, but this one has the look of a proper day.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
