The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for 13th Ave South Surfside over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – this is a tough one. The sixteen-day window is looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. There’s a big gap of poor conditions right from the start, with nothing really calling out for a session. You’re looking at a stretch of days with tiny, weak swell and messy onshore winds. The energy is just not there, with combined swell energy figures barely scraping into the double digits for most of the first week.
Things do get a little more interesting around the 7th and 8th of September, with the swell bumping up to around 4ft to 4ft from the East, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy and choppy. The combined energy hits a moderate 102 to 107 (moderate wave energy), but the surf quality is still poor. It’s the kind of day where the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
The real highlight, if you can call it that, is a fleeting moment on the morning of the 10th of September. The wind goes glassy, coming from the SSE at just 3 mph, and the swell is a tiny 2ft from the SE. It’s small, but it’ll be clean. The water temperature is sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. After that, it’s back to more of the same – small, weak, and mostly choppy.
Into the second week, the trend continues. The 13th of September afternoon sees a 4ft E swell with a gentle cross-onshore, giving it a combined energy of 115 (moderate wave energy), but again, the quality is poor. The 14th of September morning offers a clean window with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 2ft. It’s inconsistent at this break, and that’s not helping.
Honestly, there’s no standout day here. The waves are too small and weak for most of the period, and when there is a little more size, the wind ruins it. 13th Ave South Surfside is a beginner spot that’s inconsistent, and this forecast really shows the downside of that. When it’s flat, it’s flat. Forgiving a couple of glassy mornings with knee-high dribble, I’d say save your energy and wait for a better forecast. The blank run is pretty normal for this area.
Rusty.
