Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s going on in your local stretch. Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day run, it’s a tough one. There’s not a single session that I’d call a standout, and the forecast is pretty much flat and bleak for the whole period. The first record kicks off Sunday the 12th, and from there we’ve got a long, painful stretch of tiny, weak swell and mostly messy wind.
The water temperature at the start is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a little treat for the skin, but it won’t make up for the lack of surf.
Sunday the 12th offers nothing: 3ft of short-period, weak Easterly swell (energy only 68) with a cross-onshore breeze. Choppy and poor. Monday the 13th is similar with weak 3ft swell and onshore wind. Tuesday the 14th drops to a miserable 1ft, but at least the wind goes light cross-offshore in the morning, leaving the surface clean. Still, it’s barely a ripple. Wednesday the 15th morning is clean again with a light cross-offshore, but again, a tiny 1ft. Thursday the 16th afternoon shows a little pulse of 2ft from the south with a glassy offshore breeze – that’s the most hopeful moment in the first week, but the period is only 5 seconds and the combined energy is just 39. Not enough to get excited about.
The second week is even quieter. From the 18th onward, most days show waves under 2ft. Saturday the 18th morning is glassy with a 1.0ft south-east swell, but it’s just not enough to push a decent wave. The 19th gets a 0.3ft with a 13-second period – that’s a long period for such a tiny wave, but there’s no juice behind it (energy only 9). Through the 20th to the 27th, it’s all similar: small, weak, and mostly choppy with cross-onshore winds. The last day on the 27th is 0.7ft and messy.
There’s no standout break here, no session worth paddling out for. It’s a long dry spell. Sometimes the ocean just goes quiet on us. Stay patient – forecasts can change.
