The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's comin' our way.
Right off the bat, things are lookin' a bit grim. The surf is on offer but the quality is just not there for a while. There's a lot of wind and chop messin' up what could be decent sized waves. The first standout don't come 'til Sunday the 13th, so we've got a bit of a wait. Before that, we're lookin' at a solid week of cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions, with plenty of sessions that are just a write-off. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 63°, so at least the wait will be comfortable.
For the best of the bunch, you gotta keep your eyes on Sunday the 13th of September. That mornin' at Rossbeigh Strand, we're gonna get a moment of calm. The wind goes glassy, a rare treat. Swell is 5.6 ft comin' from the northwest with a solid 12-second period – that's proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is moderate at 940, but with those clean conditions, it'll be the best session of the whole run. It's a beginner-friendly break, and with it bein' fairly consistent and exposed to the swell, this is your window. Just be aware, it can get crowded here sometimes.
After that glassy mornin', things get mixed again. The 14th and 15th bring more wind and bigger, messier swell, pushin' up over 10 ft, which is too much for this spot. Then on Wednesday the 16th, we see some serious size – 13.1 ft from the west. The forecast says the swell is predicted to be too big for the break, so that's one for the experts only if you're brave, but even then, the afternoon gets choppy again. The best bet, for the whole 16-day period, is that glassy Sunday mornin'. Get on it.
The second week sees the swell hang around but the conditions stay average. The 17th and 18th keep pumpin' out 10 ft to 13 ft swell, but with cross-shore winds, it'll be a battle. The energy readings are high, like 2500-3300, but without the right wind, it's just a washin' machine. Things fade out toward the 20th and 21st with smaller, weaker swell. That Sunday the 13th is the real story here.
