The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here, and we’ve got a proper mixed bag ahead for the next couple of weeks around these parts. First thing’s first, the start of this stretch is looking pretty grim. We’re staring down several days of flat, gutless conditions, with only tiny wind slop and no real swell to speak of. If you’re keen, you’d be better off finding something else to do for the first part of the week – fishing, reading, whatever – because there’s no push in the water.
There’s a real gap of about six days with nothing worth getting wet for. Then, we finally see something stirring on Saturday the 22nd. That’s when the ocean starts to wake up. Even though there’s a risk of thunderstorms around, that morning’s looking glassy and calm with a southwest swell starting to build. That’s our first real sign of life, and you’re gonna want to be there for it. By Sunday the 23rd, the swell’s got a bit more push to it, with waves in the 5ft range and clean morning conditions under light easterly winds. That’s a proper little run of surf after the drought.
Now, here’s the standout, the one you circle on the calendar: Monday the 24th of August. She’s got the goods. The morning’s already showing a solid 6ft of southwest swell, and by the afternoon, it’s jacking up to 8ft with a longer period of 10 seconds. That’s some serious energy in the water, and the wind is set to swing offshore. This is the call of the fortnight – clean, powerful, and holding plenty of punch. Definitely one for the experienced crew; beginners are going to want to sit this one out as it’s well overhead and pushy.
After that little gem, things start to taper off again. Tuesday the 25th leaves us with some leftover energy, dropping off through the rest of the week. The water temp here is about normal for this time of year, no big anomaly, just your standard warm summer water. It’s a shame, because we see one more small pulse around Thursday the 27th but it’s mediocre at best. All in all, it’s a dead start, a killer middle, and a so-so finish.
