The Lowdown
Alright, gang, Rusty here with the lowdown on Scorpion Bay. The water temp is a toasty 86°, running a solid 7° warmer than usual for this time of year.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but then a nice, long grind of clean, rideable waves for the first week. A proper SSW groundswell sets in from Tuesday the 15th and holds through most of the following week. It’s not big, but it’s consistent and has that long period you need for a point. We’re talking waist to chest-high surf, 3 to 3 ft, with period hanging between 14 and 17 seconds. The swell energy is moderate, mostly in the 400s to 500s. Every morning from Wednesday the 16th through to the following Monday the 23rd is glassy or running under a light wind. Even the afternoons are mostly clean offshore breezes. The pick of the first week is definitely the mornings; Wednesday the 16th with 3 ft of SSW and light air, or Monday the 21st morning. This spot is *always* crowded, but with this run, it’ll be worth it.
After the 23rd, the size drops and the period backs off, and wind gets stronger, making it less fun. Friday the 25th afternoon looks poor.
Now, for the real highlight. Starting Tuesday the 29th, a much bigger S swell arrives. Tuesday morning brings 5 ft under glassy conditions. By Tuesday afternoon it’s 7 ft with an offshore wind – excellent, but experts only. The peak is Wednesday the 30th with a solid 10 ft swell and clean offshore wind. The energy numbers are massive (over 3000). This is a serious swell for experienced surfers only. Circle that date; it’s a ways out, but it’s looking like the session of the month. You heard it here first.
Rusty.
