Shipwrecks Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, lookin' at the charts for the next couple weeks. Honestly, it's gonna be a bit of a slow grind for a while. We've got some small, clean windows, but don't expect any pumping sessions.

The first real chance to get wet comes on Monday morning, September 14th. Shipwrecks is looking at tiny 2ft SW groundswell, but the wind is glassy – dead calm. That's the magic word. It'll be clean as a whistle, even if the waves are small. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing crazy there. The combined energy is moderate (222), so don't expect any power, just some fun little lines.

Monday afternoon stays the same – glassy conditions again with the same small swell. If you're itching for a paddle, this is your best bet for the start of the week.

Tuesday afternoon, September 15th, things get interesting. The wind goes completely glassy again, and the swell bumps up a tiny bit, still around 2ft but from the SSW. The energy is stronger (419), meaning there's a bit more push behind those little waves. This is a standout for the whole period – the calmest, cleanest conditions we'll see for a while. It won't be big, but it'll be perfect.

Then we hit a dry spell. From Wednesday the 16th through most of the following week, it's mostly poor or marginal with onshore or cross-off winds. There are a few glimmers, like Sunday afternoon, September 20th, when the wind drops to glassy again and the swell is 2ft from the SW. That’s a solid option for a small-wave cruise. The energy is moderate (389), and the conditions will be smooth.

Monday afternoon, September 21st, is another glassy afternoon with 3ft SW swell – the biggest of the clean windows. The energy is moderate (472), so you'll get a bit more push. This is likely the best session of the whole outlook, but it's still not a big swell. Just clean, fun, and consistent.

After that, the forecast gets murky again. Tuesday afternoon, September 22nd has some swell (3ft SW) but with a cross-shore wind that'll put a little bump on it. The energy is moderate (546), but it's not as clean as the glassy days.

The last week of September and into the 28th is mostly poor or marginal, with small swell and onshore winds. Not much to get excited about.

Overall, the pick of the fortnight is Monday afternoon, September 21st. Glassy wind, 3ft SW swell, and clean conditions. Sunday afternoon the 20th and Tuesday afternoon the 15th are also solid smaller options. The rest is a waiting game. Hang in there.

Rusty.
