The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the coming weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a total write-off for any kind of decent paddle surfing. From now through to Thursday the 25th of September, it’s a long, flat stretch of nothing worth paddling out for. We’re talking poor surf conditions day after day, with swell heights barely reaching 3ft and the combined swell energy sitting weak, mostly in the double digits. The wind is all over the place – onshore, cross-onshore, and some of it strong. Not our time.
Now, things finally start looking up on Friday the 25th of September. States Avenue (Gas Chambers) shows some promise. We’re getting a jump to 5ft swell from the east with a short period of 7 seconds, but the real story here is the wind. Friday morning we get a gentle offshore breeze from the NNW, cleaning things right up. That afternoon the wind goes dead calm – glassy conditions. That’s gold.
Saturday the 26th of September starts off just as good: glassy again, with 5ft swell from the ESE and a period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate at 305. But watch out – by Saturday afternoon the wind swings cross-onshore and chops things up, so your window is the morning.
Come Sunday the 27th of September, there’s a bigger pulse moving in. We’ve got 5ft east swell with a much longer period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy jumps strong. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore from the SW, keeping it clean. This one’s got more grunt, but that longer period groundswell might make it a little straight at a beach setup like this – it’s better suited to points or reefs.
My pick: Saturday the 26th of September, early. That glassy morning with the 5ft east-southeast swell is your best bet for clean, fun waves. Just get out before the wind shifts.
