The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Surfers Point Campground are looking pretty bloody flat. From Wednesday the 26th of August right through to Thursday the 10th of September, there's not a single decent wave on the cards. The water temp is sitting at 75°F, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only highlight.
The models are showing a big fat zero for swell energy across the entire period, with the combined energy reading at 0 for most sessions. The only tiny bit of movement we see is on the 27th and 28th of August, but we're talking ankle-slappers at best. Thursday morning the 27th might see a 1ft swell from the WNW with a weak 4-second period, giving a combined energy of just 2 – that's barely enough to wrinkle the surface. Friday morning the 28th is slightly better with a 2ft NNE swell, but still only a 4-second period and a combined energy of 11, so it's micro stuff. Those WNW and NNE swells are coming from directions that aren't even close to the optimum WSW direction this spot loves.
The wind is a problem too. Through the 27th and 28th, we've got cross-onshore breezes from the W and N at 9–12 mph, making things choppy and messy. There are a few cleaner moments later on – Sunday afternoon the 30th has a light cross-offshore breeze, and Thursday the 10th of September has glassy conditions – but with zero swell, it doesn't matter.
This stretch of breaks is fairly consistent here normally, so it tends not to stay poor for long, but this 16-day window is a total write-off for surf. If you're really keen to get wet, the Friday the 28th morning is the least terrible option, with a tiny 2ft NNE swell and a light 3 mph offshore breeze, but don't expect anything rideable.
Rusty.
