The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – the first week and a half of this outlook is a real grind. We’re looking at a whole lot of nothing until we get to Friday the 4th of September. The wind is relentless, mostly a fresh cross-off or cross-shore breeze, and while the conditions look clean at times, the wave quality just isn’t there. The models are showing a lot of "poor surf conditions" flags, so you’re better off saving your energy.
The one spot we’ve got on the radar is Spew Pits. This is a reef setup, strictly for the experts. It’s consistent, exposed to the swell, and the optimum direction is from the NNW. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 75°, which is nice.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Friday the 4th of September. The wind finally swings around to the east, going offshore, and the swell is a solid 6ft from the north with an 8-second period. The combined wave energy is moderate (408). This is the standout window. The offshore wind will groom that north swell into something clean and workable. It won’t be huge, but compared to the week prior, it’ll feel like a gift. Crowds are possible at Spew Pits, so get out early.
After that Friday morning window, the wind swings back to the north-northeast and the quality drops off again. The rest of the run into the second week is a mixed bag of cross-off breezes and marginal surf. There’s a pulse of longer-period swell on the 8th of September, with a 12-second period from the NNW, but it’s only 3ft and the wind is cross-shore, making it messy. Not worth the paddle unless you’re desperate.
So, to sum it up: the first 10 days are a write-off. The one true standout is the morning of Friday the 4th of September. Mark it on the calendar, get your gear ready, and hope the forecast holds.
Rusty.
