The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's paint the picture for the next couple weeks. It's not going to be pretty for a while.
The Wedge (Allenhurst) is looking at a serious flat spell to start. We're talking days of knee-high slop with no energy behind it. The wave energy numbers are all in the teens and twenties – that's weak stuff. You'll see some clean mornings, like on the 10th and 11th with offshore winds, but the swell is just non-existent, all around 0.3m with short periods. This dead stretch will last a good ten days, from the 8th through the 17th. It's a long, tough grind for a surfer.
There is a tiny blip on Wednesday the 16th. A gentle 15 km/h offshore wind from the W will clean things up, and we might see a 0.7m wave from the ESE. But the period is a weak 6 seconds, and the energy is still low (62). It's surfable, but you'll be fighting for every ripple. It's better than nothing, but just barely.
Now, fast forward to Sunday the 20th of September. This is where things get real, and not in a good way. The swell finally pumps in – 2.2m from the E by the afternoon, with energy jumping into the strong category at 461. But the period is a short, crumbly 7 seconds, and it’s blowing onshore. It's going to be big, raw, and chaotic. A real closeout city. This peaks on Monday the 21st, with waves up to 2.5m in the morning from the E, and the energy cranking to a very strong 675. Again, onshore, choppy, and a battle. This is too big for beginners, for sure, and over 2.5m, it's experts only. In these conditions, the jet ski might be more fun than a surfboard.
So, what’s the takeaway? The first ten days are a write-off. Then we have that one clean, but tiny window on the morning of the 16th. That is your standout, your one and only chance for a relatively stress-free surf, even if it’s small. The bigger pulse around the 20th and 21st will just be a messy, powerful beast. The water temp is 24°, about 5° warmer than usual, which is pretty unusual and will feel great.
It's a tough look. Hang loose and wait for it. Rusty, out.
