The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for States Avenue over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a grim outlook right from the start. We've got a long dry spell ahead. The first bit of surf that's even worth talking about doesn't show up until Wednesday the 9th of September, and even then, it's not much to write home about. That’s a solid gap of over a week with practically nothing on offer.
So, from now until September 9th, the pattern is pretty dead. We're looking at tiny, weak swells, mostly under 3 ft, with poor winds and a lot of chop. The first real pulse of energy finally arrives on Wednesday morning. The combined energy jumps up to 134, which is moderate, with a 2 ft swell from the SE at a long 14-second period – that's got some groundswell feel to it. The wind is light and cross-off, so it'll be clean. But the conditions are still described as "ordinary," so it's really just a session to get wet, not a standout.
The real highlight, and the only one I'd get excited about, is Thursday morning, September 10th. That's where it's at. The wind swings offshore from the WNW at a nice 15 km/h (9 mph), giving us clean, lined-up waves. We're looking at a 2 ft SE swell, but with a very long 12-second period, giving it a combined energy of 325 – solid moderate energy for a small wave. This is a point-break or reef setup waiting to happen, that long period will wrap in nicely. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 25° (77°F).
After that little burst, the second week fades back into small, clean but weak surf with winds turning offshore again, but the swell energy is back down to nearly nothing. The best of the best is that Thursday morning window.
There's nothing for beginners here as the swell stays small, and even the bigger pulse is still under 5 ft. For the more experienced crew, that Thursday morning glass-off is the one to pencil in.
Rusty.
