The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Honestly, looking at the next 16 days, it’s a tough sit. There’s just one break on the cards, and it’s a real expert-only situation. The whole period is pretty much a write-off for clean, rideable waves. We’re talking about a long stretch of poor surf conditions from the start all the way through.
The first real chance to even think about paddling out is at Spew Pits. This is a shallow reef setup, so you better know what you’re doing. It’s an expert wave, and it’s consistent, but it’s also exposed to the north. The good news is the water temp is sitting at 74°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The problem is, the wind is going to be a pain. Through the first week, it’s mostly a cross-off or cross-shore breeze from the north and north-northeast, blowing at 15 to 19 mph. That’s going to keep things messy. The swell is small and weak, around 2 ft to 5 ft, coming from the north with a short period of 6 to 9 seconds. The energy is weak to moderate (136 to 276). Honestly, it’s just not doing anything for me.
The second week doesn’t look any better. The same northerly winds keep blowing, and the swell stays in that same 4 ft to 5 ft range with short 6 to 8 second periods. The energy gets a bit stronger (178 to 354), but it’s still poor surf conditions across the board. Even with the swell hitting 5 ft on the 22nd, the wind is still cross-off and the setup is a beach-and-reef affair, so it’s honestly looking more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session.
In short, there’s no standout here. The whole 16 days are a blank run. For this area, a poor run like this is normal. Keep the board waxed, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
