Silva Island-P Land Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

This is a quiet run at Silva Island-P Land (Silva-Island-P-Land), a very consistent reef break for advanced surfers. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 86°, which is a nice little bonus. The overall pattern is small, clean, and glassy mornings, with afternoons getting a bit messy. We’re looking at small, long-period groundswell throughout, so the energy is there but the size is modest.

The standout window is Sunday morning, September 6th. It’s glassy, with a 2ft SW swell rolling in at a very long 15 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (228), and with clean conditions, this is the best session on offer. Crowds are possible, but with conditions this clean, it’ll be worth it.

Monday morning, September 7th, is another glassy start with a 2ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and moderate energy (209). It’s a solid second choice, but Sunday morning has the edge.

Tuesday morning, September 8th, is glassy again, but the swell drops to 1ft, though the period stretches to 18 seconds. Energy is still moderate (218), but the waves will be small and longer between sets.

Wednesday morning, September 9th, is glassy with 2ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, moderate energy (205). Another clean, small session.

Thursday morning, September 10th, is glassy with 2ft SW swell, 18 seconds, and moderate energy (296). The swell is holding up but small.

Friday morning, September 11th, is dead calm, glassy, with 2ft SW swell at 16 seconds, moderate energy (213). A clean, small morning.

After Saturday morning, September 12th, the energy drops noticeably. The afternoon of September 12th sees a 2ft SW swell at 14 seconds, but the energy is only 144 (weak). The next week is a slow grind of small, clean mornings, with the swell occasionally dipping to 0.7ft and energy falling below 100. The afternoons often suffer from cross-onshore or cross-shore winds, making for poor conditions.

From Sunday, September 13th, through to Monday, September 21st, the mornings are glassy but the swell size is consistently small, between 0.7ft and 2ft. The standouts in this later period are thin. The best of the bunch is Monday, September 21st, morning: glassy, 2ft SW swell, 18 seconds, and moderate energy (172). It’s not a standout, but it’s the cleanest of the second week.

Keep in mind, with these long periods (15-21 seconds), the waves will be well-shaped and powerful for their size, but the sets will be spread out. For a reef break, that’s fine, but don’t expect a constant wave count.

Rusty.
