The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s headed toward The Maze for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest, it’s going to be a frustrating stretch for a while, so don’t get your hopes up too early.
The long-range view shows some potential, but there’s a big lull of poor conditions to wait through. From now through the end of the first week, the wind is the main villain. It’s mostly onshore or a strong cross-shore, mashing up whatever swell is out there. We see plenty of size, but it’s just not rideable. From the 17th of September onward through the 27th, the surf is enormous – often over 8 ft, with some days hitting 13 ft to 16 ft – but it comes with gale-force winds and near-gale gusts. That’s not for paddling; this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The one bright spot is the morning of Monday, the 28th of September. That’s the day to aim for. The Maze is a beach and point break that’s exposed to the west, and on that morning we get a clean 3 ft swell from the WSW with a 10-second period. The combined wave energy is moderate at 231. What makes it a standout is the wind: light and cross-offshore from the NE at just 6 mph, giving you glassy, clean conditions. For this spot, that’s a beauty. The water temperature is about normal for this time of year. The swell is small enough for beginners but still fun for everyone. Expect crowds sometimes.
Outside of that Monday morning, the forecast is a long, flat run of bad conditions. There’s more than a week with nothing worth paddling out for. That late-month window is your only real chance.
Rusty.
