The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. We've got a long, dry spell ahead. The first recommendation isn't until the morning of the 7th, so you're looking at a solid gap of no real surf for the first five days. The energy just isn't there, and what little swell we get is weak and messy. Patience is key.
The first real chance to get wet is on Monday, September 7th, over at States Avenue (Gas Chambers). The swell is tiny, about 2 feet out of the East, but the period is a nice 9 seconds, which gives it a bit of shape. The real gem here is the offshore wind from the WNW at 6 mph. That'll clean things right up. The combined energy is weak (86), so it's not going to be a barnstormer, but for a clean, knee-high wave on a quiet morning, it's a decent start. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The pattern stays pretty flat. After that Monday morning, we drop back into the doldrums. The next modest glimmer shows up on Wednesday, September 16th, again in the morning. Similar story: about 3 feet of East swell at 7 seconds, with light offshore winds from the West at 6 mph. The combined energy is still low (76), but it's clean. This is a "maybe get a few if you're desperate" kind of day.
The most interesting looking day is actually the very last one in the window, Thursday, September 17th. The swell jumps up to about 5 feet from the East, with a period of 6 seconds. That's a short-period, windswell, and the combined energy climbs to 177, which is moderate. The wind is a clean cross-off from the WSW at 9 mph. That's a fun, punchy size for an intermediate, and the conditions should be decent. It's a long way out though, so keep an eye on it, but that's the best bet of the whole outlook right now.
Overall, it's a quiet period. The consistent nature of the break means it won't stay poor forever, and forecasts can change. But for now, bring a longboard and low expectations. The 17th is the one to circle on the calendar.
Rusty.
