The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer at Silva Island-P Land. It’s a reef break, very consistent, pulls in south-west swell. Water temp is about average for this time of year – nothing out of the ordinary.
First thing’s first – there’s a bit of a dry spell at the start. No real waves until the morning of Saturday the 15th, and even then it’s small.
Saturday morning the 15th is your best shot overall. Tiny 2ft south-west groundswell, but with a 16-second period, so it’s got some reach. Combined swell energy is 302 (moderate). Glassy conditions and dead calm wind – it’ll be clean as glass. This is the standout. The reef will hold that long-period energy, and the waves will have shape. Crowds are possible. Beginners can handle this size.
By Saturday afternoon it’s a write-off – west-south-west wind at 10 mph makes it cross-onshore and messy.
Sunday morning the 16th stays small: 2ft, south-west swell, 15-second period. Glassy wind from the east-north-east. Energy is 204 (moderate). Clean, but small. Good for a longboard.
From Monday the 17th to Friday the 21st it’s all 2ft to 2ft, with periods dropping to 10-14 seconds. Mornings are often glassy, afternotas get ordinary. Energy sits between 132 and 264 (weak to moderate). Not much happening.
Then a proper lull sets in. Saturday the 22nd through Thursday the 27th – tiny 1ft to 1ft bumps, weak energy (40 to 100). Hardly worth paddling out. Afternoon cross-shore winds might suit a kite surfer, but for paddle surfing it’s flat.
Here’s the second-week hopeful: Friday morning the 28th brings 1ft south-south-west swell with a 19-second period, energy 249 (moderate), glassy. Then Saturday morning the 29th has 2ft, 17-second period, energy 314 (moderate), glassy. And Sunday morning the 30th has 3ft, 15-second period, calm wind, energy 300 (moderate). That Sunday session is the pick of the second week – small but clean, reef will work it well. It’s two weeks out so keep checking.
The absolute standout is Saturday morning the 15th. Glassy, long-period groundswell, clean on the reef – that’s the one.
Rusty.
