The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Tices Sholls.
Straight up, the next 16 days are a struggle. We got a whole lot of small, messy surf with wind that’s all over the place. The best we can do is pick a couple of cleaner moments. The water’s 75°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s something.
Kicking off Monday, August 31st, it’s a wash. Tiny 1ft windswell from the SE with a cross-on breeze. Not worth paddling out.
Tuesday, September 1st is your best bet for a calm sesh. The swell is still weak at 1ft to 1ft, but Tuesday afternoon goes glassy with a westerly breeze at 3 mph. If you’ve got a longboard or a foamy, you can find some clean little bumps. The combined swell energy is low, around 27.
Wednesday, September 2nd brings a little more size but bad quality. Morning swell is 2ft and choppy. The afternoon jumps to 4ft from the east with a 6-second period, but the cross-on wind chops it up (combined energy 176).
The cleanest window is Thursday morning, September 3rd. Only 3ft from the ESE with a 7-second period, but the wind goes light offshore from the west, making it clean (combined energy 116). Surfable, but very ordinary.
Friday, September 4th morning keeps that offshore breeze from the WNW at 12 mph, but the swell drops to 2ft. Clean, but tiny.
After that, it’s a long gap of really poor surf from the 5th all the way through to the 14th. Mostly tiny, onshore, or just messy.
The only real power shows up on September 15th. Tuesday morning and afternoon bring 5ft to 5ft from the ENE with a 7 to 8-second period (combined energy around 243). The wind is a cross-shore from the SSW, so it’s not clean, but it’s the most juice in the whole forecast. For the crew who can handle a bit of chop, this is the least-bad option. It’s marginal, and the wind isn’t helping, but it’s the only time the ocean has any real push.
No true standouts here. A few clean, tiny windows early on, and one bigger but messy slot way out on the 15th. It’s one of those runs where you just wait for the next forecast.
