The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Well, to be straight with you, it’s a pretty grim outlook for the next 16 days around here. The only spot that’s even remotely in the conversation is Spew Pits, and even then, it’s a tough sell. The whole period is plagued by persistent cross and cross-off winds, mostly from the NNE and N, and the swell is a jumbled, short-period mess. There’s a solid stretch of outright poor conditions from the start right through to the middle of the month, with the wave energy sitting in the moderate range (89 to 323) but the quality just isn’t there. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
You’ve got to wait until Sunday the 16th of August before the conditions even start to look *marginal* rather than outright poor. That morning, we’ve got a clean 1.5m swell from the N, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-off from the NE at 12 mph. The combined energy is 299 – moderate, but it’s the best score we see all window. It’s a reef break, exposed, and the optimum swell direction is NNW, so the N swell is a bit off-angle but still workable. This is for experts only, and it’s a consistent spot, so you won’t be waiting around forever. Crowds are possible.
The Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th drop back into poor territory, with lumpy conditions and fresh winds. The Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st offer another couple of marginal chances, with clean morning winds and a slightly longer period on the Friday (10 seconds), but the swell is still only 1.2m from the N. This is a reef break, so that longer period might actually help the shape, but the energy is moderate (262 to 289) and the wind is cross-off, so it’s a low-expectation session.
Truth is, there’s no standout here. If you’re desperate, the Sunday the 16th is the only window where the conditions are even close to acceptable. It’s a quiet period for the region, and forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the boards in the car. Rusty.
