Siriu Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Let's have a look at the next 16 days out at Siriu. The water's sitting right at 67°F, which is just about normal for the season.

The forecast has a few clean windows, but it's mostly about picking your moment. There's a big, powerful swell on the horizon for early September, but it's a week away and I'll tell you more about that in a bit.

The Weekend & Early Next Week (Aug 23-26)

Starting with Sunday morning, we have some clean conditions with a light offshore breeze and a 6ft south swell. There's not a ton of energy behind it, but it's a perfectly surfable wave for a beginner. Later in the day, it gets a little bumpier as the wind turns onshore.

Monday morning is the real deal, though. The ocean will be glassy with a solid 8ft, 14-second period swell from the south-southeast. This is a powerful groundswell with plenty of energy. The surf will be clean and lined up. It's a bit more size, so you should have some experience, but this is the pick of the first week. The crowd will be out in full force. Tuesday sees the size drop to around 6ft and the wind gets a bit tricky, making things lumpy.

Mid-Week Lull & Windy Days (Aug 27-31)

The rest of the week is a bit of a fight. Wednesday and Thursday have some bigger, longer-period swell, but the wind is strong and from the NNE, which is messing it all up. It'll be cross-chopped and blown out. Not worth the hassle. Friday drops in size and the period shortens, but the wind is still howling. It's going to be frustrating. The weekend, Aug 30 and 31, brings it right down. The swell is small, around 5ft, but it's clean. Glassy on Sunday afternoon, light winds on Monday morning. These are small, fun days, but the energy is weak.

The Second Week (Sep 1 - Sep 7)

Next week starts off clean but small, with a 5ft swell on Tuesday. But the big one is Wednesday, September 2nd. The charts are showing a serious 10ft to 12ft southerly swell with favorable light winds. The energy reading is massive. This is a big, powerful beach break, and it’s going to be way overhead. This will likely be more interesting for the kite-surfers than us paddle surfers, as it might be a bit of a washing machine at the takeoff zone. Again, it's over a week out, so this is promising, but we need to keep an eye on it. After that, it looks like it fades out. We have a few small, clean days but nothing with any power. We finish the period on Sep 7 with almost nothing on the menu.

So, to sum it up. The two standouts are Monday, Aug 24th for the clean, powerful swell, and Wednesday, Sep 2nd for the big, expert-level stuff. Pick your days, and I'll see you out there.

Rusty.
