Rolling Stones Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk Rolling Stones. This is a reef break for the experienced crew, plain and simple. Water temp is 54°F—a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you’ll want a thick suit.

The first real action comes Wednesday morning, 2nd September. Clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the northwest, and a solid 8ft south swell running at 14 seconds. That’s long period groundswell, so the waves will have real shape and power, but longer lulls between sets. Combined energy is strong at 2958. This is a standout for experts.

Wednesday afternoon is even better: swell bumps to 8ft from the south at 17 seconds—very long period—and the wind goes near glassy out of the north-northeast. The water is dead clean, combined energy hits 4185. This is the best of the whole forecast. But with that size and power at a reef, it’s strictly for the skilled. Crowds are possible, so expect company.

Thursday morning, 3rd September, drops to 5ft south swell, still clean with a cross-off wind, but energy is down to 867. Rideable, but not a standout.

Friday morning, 4th September, is small—2ft south swell with a clean offshore wind, but only 114 combined energy. Not worth the paddle.

Then there’s a long dry spell from Saturday 5th September through to Monday 14th September. Most days are tiny, short period, or messy. Sunday 13th September morning has a 4ft southeast swell with clean offshore wind, but it’s nothing special.

The second week offers a promising window on Tuesday 15th September. Morning shows 8ft south swell at 16 seconds, clean cross-off wind, combined energy 3057. Afternoon holds 8ft south swell, still 16 seconds, clean cross-off from the east-northeast, energy 3201. That’s another strong session for advanced surfers, but it’s far out so keep an eye on updates.

Bottom line: Wednesday 2nd September afternoon is the real standout. Tuesday 15th September is a solid backup, but less certain this far out.
