The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here.
Right, so we’ve got a bit of a flat spell to kick things off. For about a week, starting Monday the 10th, the surf is tiny with barely any energy. You’ll see plenty of glassy mornings, but the waves are just ankle-to-knee high with no punch. If you’re itching to get wet, you can, but don’t expect much.
Things perk up a little on Friday morning, August 14th. Silva Island-P Land is a reef break for advanced surfers only, exposed to the SW. That morning brings a 0.6m (call it 2 feet) SSW groundswell with a very long 19-second period—that’s proper groundswell that’ll give you long waits but nice, lined-up waves. The combined energy is moderate (246). The wind is glassy with just a slight air, so the surface will be clean. Crowds can show up here sometimes. It’s still small, but it’s the best we’ve got.
Saturday morning, August 15th, is another one to pencil in. Same small size, about 2 feet from the SW, with a 16-second period and combined energy of 303. The wind is calm and glassy—perfect conditions for a clean, quiet session.
After that, things taper off again. By late August, especially around the 22nd, the swell drops to barely a ripple, with combined energy in the tens. It’s a long stretch of nothing.
Water temp on Monday 10th is about 87°F, which is a good 4°F warmer than normal—very warm for the time of year.
If you want the pick of the bunch, go for Friday morning, August 14th at Silva Island-P Land. That long period groundswell and glassy wind make it the standout in a quiet outlook. Saturday morning, August 15th, is a close second.
Keep your powder dry.
Rusty.
