The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a tough watch for this stretch around 13th Ave South Surfside. We’re looking at a long, flat run with barely a ripple to get excited about. For the first nine days, from Sunday the 23rd of August right through to Monday the 31st of August, the water’s basically a lake. You’re not gonna find a single session worth paddling out for.
There’s a tiny flicker of hope on Tuesday the 1st of September. The morning’s looking clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, and we’ve got a 1ft swell coming from the SSE with a long period of 15 seconds. That combined swell energy is weak though, barely registering at 83 (so really weak energy). It’s fine for a beginner, but it’s tiny and inconsistent, so don’t expect much. The water’s sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Then we drop back into the hole for Wednesday and the rest of that week, with nothing doing.
The next little blip comes on Thursday the 3rd of September. Morning again looks best – clean conditions with a cross-offshore wind from the WSW. Swell’s still tiny at 2ft from the SE, period 11 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 116, which is still only in the moderate range, so it’s surfable but very ordinary. Friday the 4th of September morning has some actual offshore wind from the NW, but the swell is only 1ft and the energy is weak at 33.
Honestly, through the whole 16-day run, there’s nothing that qualifies as a standout. We get a couple of mornings with clean, glassy conditions and a smidge of swell, but the size just isn’t there. If you’re dying for a paddle, the best bet is the morning of Tuesday the 1st or Thursday the 3rd of September, but keep your expectations on the floor. For the rest of it, you’re better off finding something else to do.
