The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for anyone wanting to get a proper wave in at Son-Serra-Nova. We’ve got a patchy run ahead, and you’re gonna have to be patient if you want a surf.
The window starts with nothing but flat, dribbly conditions. From the 18th through to the 23rd, it’s a whole lot of nothing, with the swell barely registering. It’s a tough run, and for a reef break that rarely breaks anyway, the waiting game is on.
The first real glimmer of hope pops up on Monday, the 24th of August. It’s not much, but there’s a pulse of energy coming in from the ESE. The early morning is your best bet, with a light offshore wind keeping things clean. We’re looking at waves around 4ft, but don't get too excited – the energy behind it is still weak. It’s surfable, but you won't be bragging about it.
After that, the ocean gets messy. The 25th sees the swell jump up to 4ft from the NNE, but a cross-onshore breeze chops it all up – that’s a write-off. The rest of the week is a similar story, with average surf and average winds. The 28th is a bit of a tease, with a solid 6ft swell showing from the NNE, but the wind is all wrong, making it a messy, cross-onshore situation. The energy is there, but it’s not going to be any fun.
Honestly, the standout around here is the Monday morning on the 24th. It’s clean, it’s small, and for a spot that rarely breaks, you take what you can get. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no need for a full winter suit.
The rest of the run into September is more of the same – tiny waves and cross-shore winds. It’s a real flat spell, and for a break that rarely shows its face anyway, this is a pretty ordinary outlook.
Keep the faith, but don't hold your breath. This is one of those times where the forecast is king and the surf is the queen that’s not home.
Rusty.
