The Lowdown
Righto, grab ya coffee. Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for the upcoming stretch. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a pulse of swell coming through that’ll get the blood pumping, though the wind’s gonna be your main headache.
The whole sixteen-day window is pinned on Tandjung-Rights. It’s a very consistent, advanced reef break that’s fairly exposed to the swell, but the wind is pretty much always going to be a cross-onshore from the ESE or SE. That’s going to keep things choppy, with a few rare windows of lighter breeze. There are no true blue-sky days with perfect offshore wind in the whole run, so you’ll be working for your waves.
The best energy, and the standout of the whole period, arrives on Wednesday the 19th of August into Thursday the 20th. You’re looking at a solid, long-period groundswell from the SSW. Wednesday morning we’ve got 7ft swell with a period of 18 seconds, and the energy is really humming at 3075. That’s a lot of water moving. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so the surface will be a bit lumpy, but the size and the very long period will make for some powerful, grinding waves on this reef. This is for the advanced crew only – anything over 8ft is expert territory. By Thursday morning it’s even bigger at 8ft (3179 energy), but still cross-on. This is definitely the pick, but it’s not going to be as clean as you’d hope.
Leading up to that, Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th have smaller swell, around 4ft to 6ft, with decent period but the same cross-onshore wind and “marginal” comments. It’s surfable but nothing to write home about.
After that peak, the swell drops off but stays present through the following week. From Saturday the 22nd of August into the start of September, the wave heights are mostly between 4ft and 6ft, with the same old story: cross-onshore wind and “poor” or “marginal” conditions. The energy drops into the three-digit range (weak to moderate). The most interesting session in this later part might be Sunday the 30th of August where the swell bumps back up to 5ft from the SW with a long 18-second period and the wind is a lighter cross-onshore – still not glassy, but more manageable. There’s also Monday the 31st of August with 6ft swell and a light breeze, worth a look.
Bottom line: If you’re an experienced surfer and don’t mind choppy faces, the Wednesday the 19th to Thursday the 20th of August is your target for the biggest, most powerful waves. For the rest, pick the days with the lighter breezes to get the best out of the moderate swell.
Rusty, signing off.
