The Lowdown
Right, mate, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you: this stretch across the second half of August is a flat spell, plain and simple.
We start off with the first sniff of something on Wednesday the 5th of August, but don't get your hopes up. We're looking at a tiny 1ft of easterly windswell at a jumbled 7 seconds, and the wind is already a cross-onshore. The water's running a bit colder than usual at 81°, a full 3° off the mark for this time of year. It's basically a write-off.
That sets the tone for the whole run. We inch up a bit on Friday the 7th with the swell hitting 4ft, the biggest we'll see, but it's still short-period junk at 8 seconds, sloppy and cross-onshore. The energy is moderate, but the quality is just not there. Every single day carries a poor surf conditions tag. It's all cross-onshore chop or cross-shore bump, nothing clean, nothing with any real push.
From there, it's a slow fade. We drop back under 3ft for the weekend and then it's a long, drawn-out trickle of 1ft to 2ft stuff right through to Thursday the 20th. There are fleeting moments of glass or near-glass conditions on a few mornings—like Thursday the 13th, Monday the 17th, and that Tuesday the 18th with a clean, light cross-off—but the swell is so weak and short period it's barely a ripple.
Honestly, there isn't a single standout in this 16-day window. The setup looks more interesting for a day on a kiteboard than a paddle board whenever that breeze picks up. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, save the wax.
Rusty.
