The Lowdown
Alright everyone, Rusty here. Let's break down this stretch at Shooting Gallery (reef). Gotta be honest, it's a tough outlook. The wind is just not playing nice for most of the 16 days, leaving the surf blown out and hard to ride.
We start on Sunday, August 30th. There's a 5-foot north swell, but a moderate cross-onshore breeze is making it choppy. The water temp is about average for the season. This nasty pattern sticks around through the first week—that north-northeast wind, blowing between 9 and 19 mph, just trashes the surface. Swell heights bounced around from 3 feet to 6 feet, but with the wind on it, it didn't matter. The wave energy was moderate but useless. The period was short, mostly 7-8 seconds.
The one bright spot is Monday, September 14th. We get a small 3-foot north swell with a light, glassy wind, turning it perfectly clean. The wave energy is moderate (279). The period is still short at 8 seconds, so it won't have much punch, but it's the only time the surface will be smooth and rideable.
Outside of that single window, it's grim. The wind stays cross-onshore or worse, especially around September 11th and 12th when a 6-foot north swell hits with a fresh 19 mph breeze. That's more of a kite surfing setup than a paddle surfing one. The second week brings more of the same—low-quality, wind-affected conditions with long gaps in between anything decent.
So, the only real play here is that Monday morning, September 14th, for a small, clean, quiet session. It’s not a classic, just the best of a bad bunch.
Rusty.
