The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for The Wedge (Allenhurst).
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one. There’s a big ol' gap of quiet days before anything even gets close to worth a paddle out. The first few days through to mid-August are flat, with just tiny knee-high slop and no energy. You’re looking at a run of days with poor surf and no real recommendation until we hit Wednesday the 19th.
We finally see a flicker of life on Wednesday afternoon, the 19th of August. The Wedge will see some 2 ft swell out of the SE with a period of 12 seconds, and the combined energy sits at a moderate 101. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – which is a huge plus for clean conditions. That said, the surf is pretty weak and the commentary calls it “very ordinary.” This isn’t a standout by any stretch, just the first chance to get wet without it being a complete write-off.
The best of what’s on offer shapes up around Friday the 21st. Thursday morning the 20th gives you a little 2 ft SE swell at 10 seconds, but it’s messy. Then Friday morning the 21st, we get a 2 ft SE swell with a 9-second period and clean, offshore wind from the W at 9 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 77. Friday afternoon holds similar, with a light offshore breeze. For this area in this stretch, that’s as good as it gets. The swell is tiny, but the wind is clean, and the waves will be rideable for a longboard or a funboard. It’s not a day for heroics, but it’s a session.
Water temp on the first day (9th of August) is 78°F, which is about 5°F warmer than normal – that’s notably warm for this time of year.
After that, the energy drops off again into the final days of the outlook with small, weak, and choppy conditions. The crowd situation at The Wedge can get busy, so if you head out Friday, expect some company.
So, bottom line: the standout is Friday the 21st. It’s not a classic, but it’s the cleanest and most surfable moment in a long, flat stretch. Don’t expect barrels – just enjoy a glassy, small-wave session.
Rusty.
