Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let me tell you straight up: the next sixteen days at Saybrook are looking pretty damn flat. We’ve got a whole lot of nothing on the horizon.
Look, I’ve scanned the charts and there’s just no swell energy to speak of. The combined energy of all swells directed here is sitting at a big fat zero (0) for the entire period. That’s a total bust. From Sunday the 30th of August all the way through to Monday the 14th of September, we’re looking at a complete blank. Every single session shows “poor surf conditions” with no wave height at all. It’s a long, dry spell.
We’ll get some clean, glassy conditions on the morning of Friday the 4th of September – wind is zero, the water will be like a mirror. But with no swell, it’s just a lake out there. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit for a paddle, but that’s it.
The wind will swing around a bit, but with no waves, it doesn’t matter. On the 3rd of September, we get a morning of light offshore from the NW, but again, no surf to ride. There’s a couple of afternoons with a clean cross-offshore breeze, like the 5th of September, but it’s all for nothing.
Honestly, if you’re looking to get wet, you might be better off with a kite. There’s enough wind on some days, like the 10th of September with a fresh 22 mph cross-onshore, but for a paddle surfer? Forget it. This is one of those stretches where the forecast is just plain cruel. It’s a total write-off for surf at Saybrook. Don’t bother checking the cams.

Information about the Saybrook Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Saybrook provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Saybrook can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Saybrook surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Saybrook) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Saybrook may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
