Sixtynine Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, looking at the next 16 days for Sixtynine.

First off, I’ve gotta be straight with you: this is a quiet stretch. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a flat spell, with only tiny scraps of swell showing up. The water’s sitting at 82°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, so no drama there.

The first real chance to get wet comes on Thursday, September 10th. It’s small, real small – like 1 ft of swell coming from the SW with a very long period of 16 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, so it’ll have some push, but the energy is weak (42). The wind is light in the morning, going glassy in the afternoon. It’ll be clean, but with that tiny size, it’s more of a float session than a proper surf. The break is fairly exposed, and WSW is the optimum direction, so this SW swell is in the ballpark, but it’s just not got the size.

Friday the 11th is even smaller in the morning, with a 1 ft, 10-second swell, and the energy drops to 14. Glassy in the afternoon, but there’s no swell showing. Saturday and Sunday are essentially flat or have a tiny pulse of 0.7 ft – not worth paddling out for.

The pattern continues through the next week. Tiny 0.7 ft to 1 ft swells, most with weak energy, and a lot of glassy or light wind windows. The standout here is really the consistency of the glassy conditions, but with no power behind the waves, it’s frustrating.

The best chance for something that might actually get you a ride or two looks like Friday, September 25th. We’ve got a 2 ft, 14-second swell from the W, with the combined energy around 96 – still weak, but the highest of the whole period. The wind is light, but it’s onshore, so it won’t be perfect. Given the size and conditions, this is a beginner-friendly wave, but if you’re experienced, you’ll be bored.

Honestly, there’s no standout session in this 16-day window. The surf is poor, the energy is low, and the size never gets above 2 ft. It’s a stretch of small, clean conditions that are more suited to a longboard or a swim. If you’re desperate, the 25th offers the most potential, but keep expectations low.

Rusty.
