The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s coming up for The Wedge (Allenhurst). I gotta be straight with you – this stretch doesn’t have much to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is pretty flat, and the guidance points to this spot being a beginner-friendly, exposed beach/jetty setup that needs north-east swell to really work. Unfortunately, we’re not seeing that.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show until Monday, the 10th of August. That’s a solid week of nothing. The whole period from July 31st right through to the morning of August 10th is just a write-off. We’re talking tiny bumps, messy cross-shore winds, and energy readings that barely tickle the meter – mostly in the single digits and teens (combined energy of all swells directed here between 5 and 38). The water temp is about average for the time of year.
Then, on Monday afternoon, the 10th of August, we get a little blip. A small southerly swell pushes in at 3ft, with a short period of 4 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here hits 51 – that’s weak, but it’s something. The wind shifts offshore from the West at 9 mph, and the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s clean, but it’s not going to be a world-beater. This is the only time in the whole window where the conditions even get a score of 1 out of 10. For a beginner, this might be a fun little session, but it’s not a standout.
After that, it’s right back to the doldrums. From Tuesday the 11th of August onwards, it’s all poor surf conditions again. Tiny swell, mostly onshore winds, and the combined energy of all swells directed here drops back to the low teens and single digits. We’re talking 0.7ft to 1.0ft waves with no power. The wind stays messy, and the look is grim.
The standout, if you can call it that, is that Monday afternoon window. It’s the only time the offshore wind lines up with any size. But honestly, at 3ft and a 4-second period, it’s a knee-high dribbler. The best advice I can give is to keep an eye on the forecasts, because this area is due for a change. It doesn’t tend to stay this poor for long.
Stay patient, and keep your board waxed.
Rusty.
