The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for any proper waves around here. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf and a whole lot of ordinary conditions. There’s a real gap in quality coming up, so if you’re itching for a wave, you’re going to have to be patient.
The only real glimmer in this whole 16-day window shows up on Thursday the 20th. That morning, we’ve got a pulse of about 4ft at 10 seconds from the WNW, with a bit more energy behind it (282). The wind is howling offshore from the NNE at 15 mph, which is going to make for some clean, lined-up walls. It's not a monster, but it's the best we're going to get. The water is sitting at 65°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
Before that, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The first week is full of tiny, weak swells under 3ft, with periods mostly around 8-9 seconds. The energy readings are almost all in the two-digit range, which is just weak sauce. There’s a slight bump on Thursday the 13th with 3ft at 11 seconds (254), but the winds are all over the place and the call is marginal at best. It’s not worth getting excited about.
From the 21st onwards, the wind is offshore but it’s blowing way too hard – 18 to 25 mph. That’s just not fun for paddling or riding. The swell is also dropping back down to under 3ft. The spot is fairly consistent, so it’s not a dead zone forever, but this forecast is a real test of patience.
Honestly, if you’re not an expert, that 4ft on the 20th is right at the edge of what’s comfortable. For the experienced crew, it’s worth a look. For everyone else, maybe give it a miss. The crowd situation is a “sometimes” spot, so you might have it to yourself, but with the conditions, you might be the only one out anyway.
This is a classic case of a long, flat spell. It won’t last forever, but right now, we’re in the thick of it.
