The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s something to keep an eye on later on.
To be honest, the first nine days look pretty bleak. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf with minimal size and messy winds. The swell is small, mostly around 2ft to 3ft, and the wind is all over the place – cross, cross-on, and onshore most of the time. The combined wave energy stays low, under 150 (weak), so there’s just no power in the water. It’s the kind of period where you might as well leave the boards in the car.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Monday, August 10th. The morning session at St Tugen (France) is the first to clock in with something that catches the eye. We’ve got a 4ft swell out of the WNW, with a 9-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NNW. The combined energy jumps to 276 (moderate), which is a healthy step up. The waves will be clean, and that size is manageable for intermediates. It’s not a classic, but after the drought, it’s the best we’ve seen.
Now, the real standout. The morning of Wednesday, August 12th is where you want to be out. The forecast is showing a solid 7ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is light and offshore from the NE, so it’s going to be glassy clean. The combined energy is a meaty 462 (strong), so there’s plenty of push. That 7ft is a fun size, but it’s pushing into the territory where beginners might find it heavy. The wind is so good, and the waves will be clean, making this the best on offer in the whole window.
Thursday, August 13th morning also looks promising. The swell holds at 7ft from the W, with a 9-second period, and the wind is a light cross-off from the N. The combined energy is massive at 1460 (very strong). That’s a lot of water moving. This is expert territory; the size and power will be too much for the average surfer. It’s a serious swell, but with the wind staying clean, the more experienced crew will have a field day.
So, for the plan: sit tight through the first week and a half. The morning of the 12th is your best bet for the best conditions. The 13th is for the big-wave hunters. The 10th is a decent warm-up.
Stay patient, and keep your eye on the water.
Rusty.
