The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty again. Let’s break down the same picture in feet and miles per hour for the crew that thinks that way.
We’ve got a tough two-week window ahead at Tandjung-Lefts. There’s solid swell coming in, but the wind is the enemy for most of it. Water temp is 80°, right where it should be for the season.
It kicks off Saturday, August 29th, with a 6ft SSW groundswell. That’s a 15-second period, so real energy behind it – the combined swell energy is strong at 1400. The wind is light out of the SSE at 6 mph, making it a cross-shore. That Saturday morning is the cleanest slot we get. The afternoon turns choppy as the wind picks up and swings onshore. This is an advanced reef, and 6ft is no joke for beginners. Crowds can show up sometimes.
From Sunday the 30th through Monday the 31st, forget it. Swell drops to 4ft to 5ft, but the wind is a steady 12 mph cross-onshore, tearing the surface up. Choppy and messy.
Tuesday, September 1st, brings a bigger pulse back – 6ft swell with an 18-second period. That’s proper, long-period groundswell. But the wind is howling at 15 mph cross-onshore. Combined energy is huge at nearly 2000, but it’s a windblown mess. Only for the experienced.
The whole first week of September is a grind. Swell holds between 4ft and 6ft, but it’s the same cross-onshore wind every day, chopping things up. The mornings of September 9th and 10th offer a bit of relief – wind drops to 9 mph cross-onshore, with 5ft to 6ft swell and a 16-17 second period. The combined energy is around 1500, so it’s punchy. Those mornings are marginal but the best of a bad lot.
The standout in this whole forecast is Saturday morning, August 29th. That 6ft swell with a light cross-shore is as good as it gets here for this period. The morning of September 10th is the next runner-up. The second week is mostly a bust – same wind, same frustration.
Honestly, with the constant cross-onshore wind, this setup looks more like a kite-surfing playground than a paddle session on most days. The swell is there, but the wind won’t let us enjoy it.
Keep your chin up. Forecasts can change.
Rusty.
