The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – we're in a flat spell. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for 13th Ave South Surfside. There's just no swell to speak of, and what little shows up is messy.
Let's start with the water. The temperature is sitting at 82°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Now, the first few days are a write-off. Sunday the 30th of August has tiny 0.7ft swell from the ESE with a short 8-second period, and the wind is a cross-onshore. The combined energy is a weak 10, and it's labelled "poor surf conditions." Monday isn't much better. We see a tiny uptick on Tuesday morning the 1st of September, with 1ft and glassy conditions, but it's still a poor surf day.
We finally get a glimmer of hope on Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the SE with a period of 11 seconds, giving a combined energy of 56. The wind goes glassy, so it'll be clean. The guidance says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and it scored a 1 out of 10. That's the best we've got, but it's still tiny.
After that, it's a long stretch of nothing. From Thursday the 3rd right through to Monday the 14th of September, the swell never gets above 3ft, and that's a short-period, messy S swell. The winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the combined energy rarely breaks 50. Every single entry is labelled "poor surf conditions." If you're a kite surfer, the strong south winds on the 5th and 6th might be more interesting than paddling a surfboard.
The only real standout – if you can call it that – is Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September. The glassy conditions and the 2ft SE swell with an 11-second period will make for the cleanest ride of the whole period. But it's a long shot for a beginner spot that's "inconsistent" and only "sometimes" breaks. Don't get your hopes up.
So the story is simple: no good surf options in the 16-day window. The break is "inconsistent" and "rarely breaks," so a blank run like this is more normal for the area. Keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change.
Rusty.
