The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
The next 16 days are looking pretty flat and uninspiring for us here. We’ve got a long stretch with hardly anything worth getting wet for. The first few days are basically a write-off with tiny, weak, messy energy. We’re talking knee-high or less, with poor conditions and hardly any push. That runs from Wednesday, September 2nd, all the way through the following weekend.
Finally, around Monday, September 7th, we start to see a little pulse of life, but it’s still very ordinary – nothing to get excited about. There’s a brief window on the morning of Monday the 7th with 3ft of swell from the ENE at 9 seconds, and clean, light offshore winds from the WNW. The combined energy is moderate at 153, but the wave quality is just “surfable but very ordinary.” It’s a small, weak offering, and the break is known to be inconsistent, so don’t expect much.
Things stay pretty poor through the following week. Another little bump shows up on Wednesday, September 16th, with 3ft to 4ft of ENE swell, period around 7 seconds. That’s a short-period windswell, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and lack real grunt. The morning of the 16th has clean, light offshore wind, which is a plus, but the energy is still weak to moderate (115-165). Again, just “surfable but very ordinary.”
The only standout – if you can call it that – is the morning of Monday, September 7th, at 10th Street (Avalon). The swell is 3ft from the ENE, with a light WNW offshore breeze making it clean. It’s small, inconsistent, and won’t offer much, but if you’re desperate and just want to float around, it’s the cleanest option in a very flat, poor period.
Water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Honestly, for most of this outlook, the surf is so poor and small that the sets look more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, especially on the afternoons with stronger cross-shore or cross-onshore winds.
