The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Silva Island-P Land. This is a well-known reef break that’s very consistent, open to the SW swell, and it really lights up with a clean SW direction. Water temp is nothing unusual for the season.
The first chance to surf is Thursday morning, August 13th, but it’s small—only 1ft from the SW with glassy, dead-calm wind. The combined swell energy is weak (79). You can get a wave, but it’s a skinnier affair. The absolute best session of the whole 16 days is Friday morning, August 14th. The swell is 2ft from the SSW, with a very long period of 19 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. The wind is calm, glassy, and the energy is moderate (243). This is the one to mark on your calendar. Saturday morning, August 15th, is also a top pick. It’s 2ft from the SW at 16 seconds, glassy, with moderate energy (302). A little more size, but that period is still a treat. Those two mornings are the standouts.
After that, it’s downhill. The afternoons get messy with cross-shore winds and storm risks, and the quality drops off hard. Sunday and Monday are a write-off for anything decent. The second week, from August 18th onward, is a lot of small, clean mornings with waves around 1ft to 2ft, but the energy is mostly weak to moderate (between 65 and 141). The best of that stretch is Wednesday morning, August 19th, with 2ft from the SW at 15 seconds, glassy, and moderate energy (229). It’s worth a look, but it’s no match for that first Friday. Friday morning, August 21st, is also glassy with 2ft, and Sunday morning, August 23rd, has a long period of 19 seconds again with 1ft, but it’s tiny. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so if you’re chasing the standouts, expect company.
For a reef, those long-period groundswells (15-19 seconds) will wrap in nicely and give you some proper shape. If you’re a beginner, anything over 5ft gets too big, but that’s not happening here. Late August 28th has a glassy morning with 1ft from the SW at 19 seconds, but the energy is weak (129). It’s okay, but nothing special.
Rusty.
