The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Silva Island-P Land.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid reef break setup that’s very consistent and exposed to the SW swell. The water temp is 86°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year—you’ll notice that when you paddle out. It’s not a huge anomaly but you won’t need a thick suit.
The first few days are pretty quiet, with tiny 1ft swell. Thursday afternoon might be glassy, but the conditions are very ordinary, not worth paddling out for.
The real action starts to build on Saturday the 29th. That morning you’re looking at 2ft of SW swell running at 16 seconds—nice long period groundswell—with glassy conditions and calm winds. The combined energy is moderate at 300, and this is the best on offer. By the afternoon it stays glassy with the same size. This is the standout surf of the week.
Sunday the 30th holds the same 2ft SW swell in the morning with glassy wind, moderate energy at 226. The afternoon gets messy with a 9 mph cross-onshore breeze, so stick to the mornings.
There will be a bit of a lull Monday and Tuesday (August 31 and September 1) with smaller 2ft to 2ft swell and less favourable wind. Not a write-off, but nothing to get excited about.
Saturday September 5th is worth noting—the morning session has 3ft SW swell, 16-second period, glassy conditions, and moderate energy at 375. That’s your best session of the second week.
Further out, Wednesday September 9th and Thursday September 10th are promising. On the 9th morning you’ve got 2ft SW swell at 18 seconds, glassy, with moderate energy at 381. On the 10th morning, the swell builds to 3ft SW with a period of 16 seconds, calm glass, and energy hitting 412. That’s a moderate energy reading but the glassy wind and quality groundswell make it a standout late in the period. Long-range but looking good.
Overall, the best windows are Saturday August 29th morning, Saturday September 5th morning, and Thursday September 10th morning. Get out there for those.
Rusty.
