The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna level with you—this stretch is looking bleak. We’ve got a serious dry spell right out of the gate. For the first nine days, the surf is mostly nonexistent. Tiny, weak, and not worth paddling out for.
The first little flicker comes on Wednesday, September 9th. Swell bumps to about 3–4 ft from the NE, but it’s short-period, around 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-on. Combined energy is moderate (176), but the conditions are poor. Not worth rushing for.
Your best shot—and I mean your *only* decent shot—comes on Thursday morning, September 10th. We’ve got a 2–3 ft east-northeast swell, still short period at 8 seconds, but the wind turns light cross-offshore from the south at just 3 mph. It’s clean. The combined energy is weak (89), but it’s the cleanest window we’ve got. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
From there, it’s back to flat or choppy junk all the way through the 19th. A few glassy mornings (12th, 15th, 16th), but the swell is barely a foot. You’d be chasing whitewash.
Finally, on Sunday, September 20th, we get a small pulse: 2–3 ft from the NE, period still short at 6 seconds, but the wind goes offshore from the SW at 12 mph, cleaning it up. Combined energy is weak (54), and the call is “surfable but very ordinary.” After two weeks of nothing, it’s something.
No real standout days here. Most of the forecast is a bust. Keep your expectations low and check back in.
