The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, switched to feet and Fahrenheit.
Silva Island-P Land on the West Coast is a reef setup that takes its best swell from the south-west. The first ten or eleven days are quiet. The waves are small, consistently around 1ft to 2ft, coming from the SSW to SW with a sweet long period of 13 to 18 seconds – pure groundswell, but the size is the problem. The energy is weak to moderate, reading between 93 and 173. The early mornings are glassy and clean, but you’re on a longboard at best. A couple of those first Tuesday and Wednesday mornings are your best early bets for clean but tiny surf.
Things change a bit starting August 29th. Saturday morning the 29th shows calm, glassy conditions with 2ft of SW groundswell at 18 seconds. The combined swell energy is up to 310, and it’s looking good. That afternoon, the wind gets cross-shore, but the swell is still showing 2ft. The real day to mark is Sunday, August 30th. That morning is glassy, with 3ft of SW swell at 16 seconds, energy jumping to 458, and good conditions around. That’s your best session of the whole outlook. The Monday after (August 31st) also looks clean in the morning – 3ft, 14 seconds, 297 energy – but the afternoons are all cross-wind trouble.
This is an advanced-level reef, and it breaks very consistently. So the first half is a real lull, which is a bit unusual. Still, when the waves hit 3ft, it’s fine for most decent surfers. That long period groundswell will wrap around the reef and offer nice lines, but you gotta wait for the sets.
It can get crowds here sometimes. That lack of size for so long might keep the crowd count low, so that could be a bonus.
Most mornings are glassy or just a tiny puff of wind. The occasional light offshore from the SSE will help. It’s not a huge window, but Sunday August 30th at dawn is the one you want.
