The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, talkin’ the same forecast in feet and miles an hour. So, The Wedge (Allenhurst) is our only option, and I won’t sugarcoat it – the next couple weeks look pretty bleak.
We kick off Monday the 24th with surf around 1 ft from the southeast, and combined energy in the weak range (39-62). Winds give us a few clean moments in the mornings, but there’s no size or punch. That carries on through the rest of the month. On Sunday the 30th, the swell bumps to around 5 ft with a period of just 5 seconds – that’s choppy windswell, and 128 in energy doesn’t make up for the short period and onshore breeze. The water’s at 75°, a touch warmer than average.
Into the first week of September, the energy really ramps – from 143 up to 530 on the 6th – but again, the swell direction stays east to southeast, and the winds blow onshore or cross-onshore almost the whole time. We see wave heights reach 5 ft on the 5th and 6th, but with short periods and strong winds up to 25 mph. It’s messy and bumpy all the way through to the 7th.
A couple of sessions stand out only by comparison. Friday the 28th and the morning of Saturday the 7th of September offer 2 ft to 3 ft swell, light cross-offshore breezes, and clean conditions. The energy sits around 74 to 108, meaning the surf is ridable but nothing special. No real standout days here – the optimum swell direction of NE never shows up, and the winds don’t cooperate enough for the wave quality to pop.
This spot’s going through a rough patch. There are no standout sessions, just a lot of days with poor surf and less-than-ideal wind. The only positive is that consistent breaks often get a change in the forecast, so keep an eye out – it might not stay this flat for long.
Rusty.
