Silva Island-P Land Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming up for Silva Island-P Land. We’ve got a 16-day window, and to be straight with you, it’s not big, but there are some real clean windows if you time it right. The water temp is sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the full suit just yet.

We start off quiet. The first decent look comes on Saturday the 29th of August, but it’s only a small 2ft SW swell with a very long 16-second period from the SW. The wind is a cross-onshore, so the combined energy is weak (282), and it’s pretty average. Not the one to set the alarm for.

Sunday the 30th of August is where it gets interesting. We’ve got that same 2ft SW groundswell, but the wind goes absolutely glassy in the morning. Zero wind. The combined swell energy is still moderate (225), but with those conditions, it’ll be clean and lined up. That’s a standout window for me. The afternoon holds a clean cross-off breeze too.

Monday the 31st drops a tiny bit to 2ft from the SSW, and while it’s glassy again, it’s pretty weak on energy (130). Just ordinary knee-high dribble, really. Tuesday and Wednesday stay small, with energy dropping under 200. You’re looking at 1ft to 2ft, still with some clean conditions, but you’ll be scratching for a ride.

Now, here’s another one to circle: Friday the 4th of September morning. The swell bumps back up to 2ft from the SW, and the period stretches out to a very long 18 seconds. The combined energy jumps to moderate-strong (368), and it’s glassy. This is the pick of the whole run for clean, long-period lines on the reef. Just keep in mind that long period like that can make breaks a bit straight at a beach setup, but on a reef like this, it should be proper.

Saturday the 5th of September morning is nearly as good, with 3ft SW swell and a 16-second period, glassy wind, and strong energy (395). That’s another morning to clear the diary.

There’s a bit of a lull mid-week after that, and then from Tuesday the 8th of September through to Friday the 11th, we get a solid run of small but clean swells. Swell sizes stay around 2ft to 2ft, but the wind is often glassy or light offshore, and the energy stays in the moderate range (200-333). Friday the 11th is a beauty, with glassy conditions both morning and afternoon on a clean 2ft SW swell.

After that, the energy fades back down. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th of September drop to 1ft-2ft with weak energy (under 211), and by Sunday the wind gets messy, so the run is done.

The standout windows: Sunday the 30th of August morning, Friday the 4th of September morning, and Saturday the 5th of September morning. Those are the times to be in the water. It’s a consistent little spot, so expect a few others in the water, but it’ll be worth it.

Stay frosty,
Rusty
