The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for our stretch of coast. I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead before anything even gets close to worthwhile.
The forecast starts with nothing. From Tuesday the 1st right through to the 15th of September, it’s a total write-off. We’re talking day after day of flat, weak, or messy conditions. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and the wind is never on our side. You’ll see the combined energy of all swells directed here barely breaking into double digits most days, sitting at a measly 26 on Tuesday morning, and it just doesn’t get any better. It’s a painful stretch of poor surf conditions, and honestly, it’s not worth getting wet.
The only glimmer – and I mean the only one – pops up on the morning of Wednesday the 16th of September at 10th Street (Avalon). Even then, it’s a bit of a weird one. We’ve got a 5 ft swell from the SSW, but the period is a short, weak 5 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and lack real push. The combined energy of all swells directed here hits 154, which is at least moderate, but the wave comment says it best: “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The wind is a light breeze from the north, which is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. The water temp is a very unusual 77°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
But let’s be real, a 5 ft swell with a 5-second period at a beach/jetty spot that’s inconsistent – that’s not a day to get excited about. It’s surfable, but only just. For the intermediate surfer, it’s a maybe. For beginners, that 5 ft might be a bit much if it gets dumpy, and for experts, it’s just not going to have the juice. Crowds are possible here sometimes, but with how poor the run has been, I doubt there’ll be a soul out.
So, the verdict? The 16th of September is the only show in town, and it’s a weak one. For the rest of the 16-day window, you’re better off leaving the board in the car. The beach setup here and the strong, messy winds on other days mean this is looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the period.
Rusty.
