The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s coming up for Stone Harbour Point over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch, so don’t go expecting any firing sessions.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, we’ve got a long, dry spell of flat to tiny waves with messy winds. The surf is almost entirely made up of weak, short-period windswell, and it rarely gets above waist-high. The conditions are ordinary, with a constant cross or cross-onshore breeze keeping things choppy. This is a spot (beach/jetty) that needs a bit more juice and a cleaner window to really shine, and we just aren’t getting either.
The first real sniff of anything surfable arrives on Saturday morning, August 8th. It’s tiny – only about 1ft from the SE with a weak energy level (44) – but the wind goes cross-offshore from the WSW, cleaning things up nicely. It’s not going to blow you away, but it’s the cleanest the water will look for a while. That window of clean, small waves might pop again on Sunday morning, August 9th, with similar 2ft swell, but again, it's all very small.
After that, it’s a real slog. From Monday the 10th right through to the end of the second week, the swell stays flat to undersized, mostly under 2ft, and the energy figures drop into the teens. The wind does go offshore or glassy several times – like Wednesday morning, August 12th, with a light WNW offshore, and Thursday morning, August 13th, when it goes dead glassy (17 energy). You’ll see the reports saying “clean” or “glassy,” but honestly, with that little swell, you’re looking at barely a ripple.
There is finally a slight uptick in size around Wednesday, August 19th, and into Thursday, August 20th. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the S on the 19th afternoon, and the energy hits 66. But the wind is howling from the S at 18 mph, making it a lumpy, cross-onshore mess. That’s just not surfable for a paddle board. You’d be better off with a kite. By Thursday morning the 20th, the swell is still around 3ft from the SSW with 100 energy, but it’s crossed up by a light wind.
So, to sum it up: there’s no standout in this period. The Saturday morning of August 8th is your best bet for a clean, small wave if you’re desperate. Otherwise, you’re waiting on a change in the weather pattern. It’s been a real quiet run for Stone Harbour Point this time around.
Rusty.
