The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, coming to you from the desert coast. Let's talk about the next couple of weeks at Scorpion Bay.

We're looking at a slow start, but a really promising stretch of classic point surf is lining up. The first few days from the 4th of August onwards are just small, with very ordinary conditions. The waves are there, but they're tiny, around 2 ft to 2 ft from the SSW with a cross-offshore breeze. The energy is weak to moderate, and the truth is, it's not worth paddling out for this. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year.

The real story starts to build on Thursday the 6th in the afternoon. That's when we get a proper offshore wind from the West at 12 mph, and the swell starts to step up. The period stretches out to 18 seconds, and the energy jumps to a solid level. It's a groundswell, and this spot loves that. Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th are looking like the pick of the first week. The combined energy goes strong, with clean conditions and a consistent 2 ft to 3 ft of SSW groundswell. The crowd factor is a bit of a bummer though – word is out, and this place is *always* packed. Still, when it's this good, you can forgive the lineup.

The real standout, the one that's got me excited, is Friday the 14th of August. The afternoon session is looking like a beauty. The swell jumps up to 4 ft from the SW, with a 17-second period, pumping out a very strong energy reading. The wind is a gentle offshore from the West, 9 mph, and the forecast is for "very good surf conditions." This is the one to circle on the calendar. It's still a bit far out, so keep an eye on the forecasts, but the potential is huge.

The following week continues with clean, fun waves in the 2 ft to 3 ft range, but the real magic fades after that 14th. We get a few more days of clean surf, but by the 18th and 19th, the wind turns onshore and the quality drops right off.

So, for the standouts: the late afternoon of the 6th through the 8th is a solid, reliable bet. But the best on offer is the afternoon of the 14th of August. That's the one you want to be there for.

Rusty, signing off.
