The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break this down in feet and miles per hour. This 16-day outlook is a tough one to swallow.
To put it plainly, there’s no real surf to speak of. The whole period is dominated by tiny, weak swell. The biggest wave height we see across the entire forecast is a measly 2 feet, and that’s with a pitiful period of 4 seconds – basically just bumpy wind slop. The combined swell energy is consistently in the single or low double digits, which is barely enough to move the water. The wind is mostly cross-shore or onshore, which for a sandbar break means choppy, messy conditions.
Let’s take it day by day. From Tuesday, 25th August through the end of the month, it’s pretty much flat. On Thursday, 27th August, there’s a 1ft swell from the southwest, but with a period of only 3 seconds, it’s just a ripple. The afternoon turns to a gentle offshore wind, but the energy is so weak (5) it’s not worth paddling out for. The weekend and early next week are even worse, with onshore winds adding insult to injury.
We do get a few glassy mornings in the first week of September, like Tuesday, 1st September, and Wednesday, 2nd September, but the swell is still only 0.7ft. The biggest single event is on Monday morning, 7th September, with a 2ft swell from the SW and glassy conditions. But again, 4 seconds of period means it’s just lumpy, short-period energy; the combined energy is only 10. There isn’t a single day where you’d look at the forecast and say, “That’s the one.”
So, no standouts. None. The water temperature is about 88°F, which is a touch warmer than average, so it’s good for a float but not for a surf.
This is a dead period for the area. The gear stays in the shed. There’s simply nothing on offer.
Rusty.
