The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this outlook sorted. It’s a bit of a mixed bag for our stretch of coast, to be honest. St Tugen is the only spot lighting up on the radar, and it’s going to take a little patience before things start to show some real promise.
The first week is pretty grim for surf. There’s some swell moving through, but it’s messy. Wednesday the 9th has a bit of energy at 5ft but the northwest wind is chopping it all up. The next few days see the swell drop right off, with ankle-to-waist high dribble and cross-shore breezes making it pretty ugly. The conditions are mostly poor, and the odd marginal window on the 11th and 13th isn’t going to get anyone too excited.
The gap in quality stretches for a full week, with the 14th through the 19th being particularly forgettable. There’s some bigger swell on the 16th, but it’s coming with a strong breeze, making it a complete mess. That’s more of a kite-surfing day, if anything.
Now, we finally see a couple of windows that start to get the pulse going. The morning of the 21st is the standout from this whole forecast. We’ve got 8ft of west-northwest swell, and the wind is light and offshore. It’s going to be big, powerful, and clean. This is one for the experienced crew, it’s a serious step up in size. The energy in the water is going to be strong and the period is short, which means it could be a bit lumpy and closing out in sections, but that morning wind will make it look like a different place. It’s the clear winner, but it’s not for beginners.
Looking further out, the morning of the 23rd also shows some promise. It’s a step down in size from the 21st, with 5ft on the face, but it’s still got that west swell direction, and we’re looking at light offshore winds from the north-northeast. This will be a much more manageable and cleaner day, with proper shape to the waves. It’s a more user-friendly option before things fade out again.
So, for the next couple of weeks, you mark your calendar for the 21st if you’re an expert chasing size and power, and the 23rd if you want something a bit more fun and accessible. It’s a waiting game, but there are a couple of nuggets in there.
This is Rusty, signing off.
