The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the upcoming surf.
Water temp is sitting at 63°F, which is about 1°F cooler than the average for this time of year. Nothing drastic, just a hint of autumn creeping in.
We’re starting off slow. Sunday the 6th is a washout with onshore winds and tiny, weak waves. The combined energy is only 222 (weak) in the morning, and it drops off even more in the afternoon. You’re looking at a couple of days of nothing special before anything worth paddling out for shows up.
The first real highlight is Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. The wind’s going offshore from the NE, and with a 5ft swell from the W, it’ll be clean. The period is 10 seconds, so it’s a decent groundswell, and the energy jumps to 426 (moderate). It’s not massive, but it’ll be the best we’ve seen so far. St Tugen is an exposed spot, so it’ll pick up that WNW energy, but it can get a bit choppy if the wind swings. Expect crowds here, so get in early.
The big one to circle is Wednesday the 16th of September. The morning is looking glassy with a light NE breeze, and we’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period. The energy is strong at 768 (moderate-strong). That’s a proper groundswell, and with glassy conditions, the waves will be clean and well-shaped. This is the best session of the whole forecast. The 6ft size will be pushing into intermediate territory, but it’s not too big for a confident surfer.
After that, the swell winds down through the second week. Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th have some smaller, cleaner waves in the 3ft to 4ft range, but nothing to get worked up about. The consistency is fairly steady for this spot, so there’s always a chance.
The long-range window around the 20th and 21st of September looks small but clean, with offshore winds and glassy conditions on Monday morning. Not a standout, but a nice way to close out the forecast if you’re after a quiet session.
So, the takeaway: Wednesday the 16th of September is the one to aim for with a glassy 6ft WNW swell. Tuesday the 8th is your next best bet for a clean offshore morning.
Rusty.
