The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one for our area. We’ve got a long stretch ahead with barely a whisper of decent surf. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off, so don’t bother checking the cams until the second weekend.
We’re looking at Days Avenue (Gas Chambers) for the whole run. The water is sitting at a very unusual 77.2°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bathtub out there. For the first twelve days, it’s a constant run of poor surf conditions. Tiny swells, weak energy, and junky wind. There’s a bit of a bump mid-week, but it’s small and messy, nothing to get excited about.
The first real glimmer of hope arrives on the morning of Sunday, the 20th of September. The morning session is the standout. We’ve got a clean, glassy surface with a south swell pushing through at 3.6 ft, with a period of 6 seconds. The swell energy is moderate (169). It’s not a world-beater, but after all that flatness, it’s the only real chance to get wet. The wind is glassy, so the waves will be clean. Keep in mind that this spot is a beach/jetty setup, and it’s an exposed break, so the short period swell will keep things a bit fat and close together. The afternoon gets a bit lumpy, so get your session in early.
The rest of the window after that morning is back to small, weak, and choppy conditions. For the mid-week around the 22nd of September, we see a touch more energy, but it’s cross-onshore and lumpy, so it’s not going to be worth the paddle. If you’ve got a kite, the setup on the 22nd might be more interesting than a surfboard, but for paddle surfing, it’s a bust.
Bottom line: if you’re desperate, the early morning glass-off on Sunday the 20th is your only real shot. After that, we’re back to waiting.
