The Lowdown
Alright, you salty dogs, Rusty here. For The Wedge at Allenhurst, we’re looking at a real flat spell. Water temp is a balmy 78°, which is much warmer than normal for August – feels like a bathtub, but the waves are taking a vacation.
From right now, all the way through to Saturday August 22nd, the surf is practically non-existent. Wave heights stay under 0.5ft to 2ft, mostly from the ESE or SE, with combined swell energy sitting between 6 and 55 (weak). It’s just not happening. You’ll see a few glassy mornings, like Thursday the 20th, but that’s 0.4ft of swell with an 8-second period – barely a ripple. The wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, so don’t bother.
The only hint of something bigger comes on Saturday August 22nd and Sunday the 23rd. Swell bumps up to 4ft from the east, but with a short 6-second period, it’s pure windswell. Combined energy hits 109 (moderate) on the 22nd afternoon, but with east winds blowing 12 mph straight onshore, it’s a choppy, blown-out mess. For the experienced guys, with that onshore wind and a beach/jetty setup, this might actually be better for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Crowds are often a problem at The Wedge on weekends, but I wouldn’t worry – nobody will be out in that junk.
From the 24th to the 30th, it’s back to small stuff: 0.3ft to 2ft from the SE, with longer periods of 10-12 seconds. There are a couple clean slots – Tuesday 25th morning (light offshore/cross-off wind from the SSW) and Thursday 27th morning (light cross-on from the NE) – but it’s all too small to ride properly. That long period (12 seconds) would be sweet if there was any push behind it, but there isn’t.
No true standouts here, folks. The best you can hope for is a clean, tiny, glassy session on the 20th or a clean but still tiny session on the 25th. It’s a pretty barren 16 days.
Rusty.
