The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, lookin’ at the 16-day stretch for our local spot. Gotta be straight with you, this ain't a pretty picture. The whole 16-day window is basically a bust. We’re looking at a massive gap with no real surf on offer, and even when there’s a tiny pulse, the conditions are just plain ugly.
Let’s start with the first few days. From Thursday the 16th all the way through to Friday the 24th, it’s a total write-off. We’ve got plenty of wind, mostly cross or onshore, and the swell is either non-existent or junk. On Saturday the 18th afternoon, there’s a brief pulse of 5ft S swell but with a terrible 5-second period and weak energy (108). It’s just a messy, short-period windswell that’ll be blown out by the cross-shore wind. A poor surf conditions call all the way through. Not worth paddling out for.
There’s a gap of about 6 days with no recommendations at all. Then, on Saturday the 25th morning, we finally get a sniff of something. 10th Street (Avalon) sees a bit of 3ft SE swell with a 8-second period and moderate energy (140). The wind is light offshore from the WNW, which will clean it up a touch. The file says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and that’s about right. It’s the only real window in the whole outlook, but it’s still small and won’t be anything to write home about. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 75°, nothing crazy.
The rest of the period after the 25th just fades back into poor surf conditions, with tiny swell and mostly cross or onshore winds. The combined energy values drop right off, and it’s back to the same old story. The strongest point is that Saturday 25th morning, but even that’s a stretch.
This is a long, dry run for the area. When the swell is weak and the wind is against us, it’s just one of those spells. Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
