The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. It's Rusty. We've got a couple of weeks of small, clean conditions ahead. Don't get your hopes up for any giant, but there are definitely a few windows where the ocean will be silky and you can get some fun ones.
Right off the bat, the water temp is about 86°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The first swell push Tuesday morning is clean, glassy, but tiny—only 1ft. It's got some long-period energy (18 seconds) behind it, so it might have a little more push than the size suggests. This is at Silva Island-P Land (P Land), and it can get some crowds, so just be aware.
Tuesday afternoon turns a bit messy with a cross-on breeze and storm risk. Surf is still small and junky, so sit that one out.
Wednesday morning is the standout, hands down. The swell bumps up just a hair to 2ft, the period is a solid 16 seconds, and it's dead glassy again. This is the session to get. The reef will be clean and smooth. The afternoon's a write-off with more storm risk and a light cross-on breeze messing it up.
Thursday is poor. Small, jumbly, cross-onshore wind, just not worth the effort.
Friday morning is the other good window. Still 2ft of swell but the direction swings a bit more to the SW, which is what this spot likes. It'll be glassy and clean, a really fun morning before the wind goes cross-shore in the afternoon.
The weekend is small and pretty ordinary. Saturday morning is surfable at 2ft and glassy, but the energy is dropping off. Sunday is even smaller at 1ft with super weak energy. You'll get a few, but you'll be working for them. Sunday afternoon gets a light cross-off breeze that will clean it up, but it's still tiny.
Next week, from the 14th through the 16th, it's more of the same story. Swell stays in that 0.7ft to 2ft range with long periods, but the energy is weak. There are glassy mornings, but it's all just a bit ordinary. Not a lot of push.
The second week, from the 17th out to the 23rd, it's still that same ankle to knee-high surf. Mostly around 1ft to 2ft. The mornings are consistently glassy, which is great, but there's just no size. Long-period swells like this are super clean, but you'll be riding knee-high sliders. There are a couple of afternoons with a light offshore breeze, which is nice, but again, the size just isn't there.
So, to wrap it up: Wednesday morning and Friday morning are your best bets for clean, small, fun waves. Everything else is about being in the water and enjoying the peace and quiet. It's not a big surf stretch, but it's not a flat spell either. It's just... small. If it gets windy and the waves are this weak, you might honestly have more fun on a kite.
Keep your eyes on it, forecasts can change. Until next time.
Rusty.
