The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a long, slow stretch. The first week is pretty much a write-off for any decent surf. From Sunday the 23rd right through to the end of August, it’s all tiny waves and poor conditions. We’re talking ankle-snappers with combined energies barely cracking 30 or 40 (31-84), mostly from the ESE or SE. There’s a few glassy mornings, like Monday the 24th and Wednesday the 26th, but with swell heights of just 1 ft, it’s not worth paddling out for. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 77°F, but that’s about the only highlight.
Expect a gap of about 10 days of flat, poor surf before things finally start to show some life. We see a bit of a pulse arriving on Thursday the 3rd of September at 10th Street (Avalon). The morning is still ordinary, but by Thursday afternoon, the swell picks up to 3 ft from the SE with a period of 13 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 388. The wind turns cross-offshore from the W, cleaning it up nicely. That’s the first real sign of life.
The standout window, however, looks to be late in the second week. Friday the 4th of September afternoon is the pick of the entire forecast. The swell jumps to 6 ft from the E, with a short period of 7 seconds, but the wind goes offshore from the NW, giving us clean, groomed lines. The combined energy hits 789 – that’s solid, moderate-to-strong energy for the beach. This is a bit of a short-period swell, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and sectiony, but with offshore wind, it’ll be fun for the better surfers. It’s getting a bit big for beginners though.
Saturday the 5th holds some size at 5 ft, but the wind is light cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. Still, there’s energy there (657). Sunday morning the 6th of September sees the swell back to 5 ft from the ENE, with clean offshore winds from the NNW, so that’s another solid option for experienced surfers.
Overall, the best surf on offer is the Friday 4th of September afternoon session. It’s the most energy, the cleanest wind, and the biggest swell of the run. The Sunday morning the 6th is a close second. The first week is a total loss, but the second week delivers.
Rusty.
