The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this stretch is a bit of a waiting game. The first week is a write-off, and I mean that. We’ve got a lot of wind and messy, blown-out conditions on the way, and the swell, while it gets some size, is coming in with a cross-onshore bite that’ll chop it to pieces. If you’re a beginner, you’re not missing anything. For the crew who just want to get wet, you’ll be better off holding off until the weekend after next.
The first real window we see is on Saturday the 15th. The wind drops right out to a light offshore, and the swell cleans up. We’re looking at waves around 4ft from the SW, with a 15-second period. That's proper groundswell, and it'll have some push to it. That morning session is the standout—clean lines, not a lot of people around, and the water is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, about 2°F above average, so it’s not a full winter wetsuit day. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at 707.
Sunday the 16th is also a goer. The swell drops a bit to 3ft, but the wind turns offshore from the east, and it’ll be clean and glassy. Not as much power, but for a longboard or a funboard, it’ll be a fun one. The energy is a bit weaker, around 336, but it’s a good morning for a paddle.
After that, it backs off again. Monday the 17th has some small, surfable waves, but nothing to get excited about. Then we have a few days of tiny, weak surf until next Wednesday the 23rd rolls around. That morning looks promising with glassy conditions and a 3ft SW swell with a 17-second period. That long period will make it feel a bit better than the size suggests, and it should be clean. The energy is moderate, at 523.
The rest of the window fades out, with the wind picking up again. So, to sum it up: your best bets are the morning of the 15th and the morning of the 23rd. Everything else is a case of wrong place, wrong time. Keep an eye on it, though—these forecasts can shift.
Rusty out.
