The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at the local stretch of sand with a different rulebook.
We’re staring at a flat and frustrating lineup for this beach/jetty setup. From the 26th of August through the afternoon of the 4th of September, it’s a total washout. The water temp is about standard for this time of year. The combined swell energy barely gets out of the 20s and only reaches a weak 121, but the wave comment is “poor surf conditions” with a zero rating across the board. The wind is messy, the swell is tiny. Do not bother dragging the board out.
Finally, on Saturday morning, 5th of September, we get a glimmer. A 0.5 ft (0.8m) east swell with a period of 8 seconds, combined energy of just 90. The wind will be a light SSW breeze at 3 mph, giving us clean, glassy conditions. It’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” but for a beachbreak that’s been dry, the clean surface is everything. Knee-high, weak rollers. Crowds are always a factor here, but with waves this small, it’ll be sparse. If you’ve got a longboard, that morning is your only real shot.
Monday, 7th of September, brings another tiny pulse: 0.5 ft (0.5m) east, 8 seconds, combined energy at a weak 50. Light offshore wind in the morning and glassy in the afternoon. Both sessions are “surfable but very ordinary.” More small, clean, and gentle.
After that, we’re back to poor conditions. The swell never gets over 1 ft (1.1m), and the wind just chops it up. For this exposed spot, it’s a tough run. If you’re desperate, the 5th morning is your only bet, but don’t expect much action.
Rusty.
