The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this isn’t a week to be getting the boards out around here. We’re looking at a long, flat stretch for the foreseeable future, so temper those expectations.
The picture for the next 16 days is pretty grim. Right from the start on Tuesday, September 8th, we’re looking at poor conditions. The swell is small, the wind is messy, and there’s just no energy in the water. That trend continues day after day. We’re talking about a solid gap of over a week with nothing worth paddling out for. The waves are tiny, the periods are short, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-on. It’s a real bummer.
We finally get a tiny glimmer of hope on Friday, September 18th, on the morning. 13th Ave South Surfside might see a bit of a pulse. The swell is a weak 3 ft from the ESE with a short period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 45 (weak energy). But, the wind is a clean offshore from the WSW, which is a major positive. You’ll get some clean, glassy little rollers. It’s not going to be pumping, but it’s the only window in this whole forecast that’s even surfable, so it’s the best on offer. This is a beginner break, and with the swell under 5 ft, it’s perfect for getting your feet wet. Just be aware crowds are possible here.
Apart from that one morning, the rest of the period is a write-off. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and the wind is generally onshore or chopping things up. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, a blank run like this is more normal for the area. Stick to the skis or the longboards, or just wait for the next forecast to change. It’s got to get better eventually.
Rusty.
