The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. We’ve got a tough stretch ahead at Tices Sholls. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a grind, with only a couple of fleeting moments that might get you wet. Let’s be straight—this isn’t a classic run for this spot.
We’re starting with a tiny window of opportunity Thursday morning, September 10th. A clean 4ft SSW swell is rolling in, but it’s short period at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weak and fat. The combined wave energy is only 279 (moderate), and with a cross-offshore wind, it’ll be rideable but nothing to write home about. By the afternoon, the swell drops to 3ft and the energy collapses to 68 (weak). It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
Then we hit a long, flat, and windy gap. From Friday the 11th right through to Saturday the 19th of September, the waves are tiny—mostly under 2ft—with onshore or cross-shore winds. The scores are flat zeros for days. This is a proper lull.
There’s a brief glimmer on Sunday morning, September 13th. An offshore wind from the west cleans up a 3ft SSE swell. The energy bumps up to 159 (moderate), and the wind state is “gentle offshore and clean.” It’s still short period (6 seconds), so it’s not going to be a beauty, but for a few hours it’ll be the best thing on offer. That afternoon, the wind goes glassy, but the swell drops to 3ft. A glassy wave, but small.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions until the 22nd of September, a full week later. On Tuesday the 22nd, a larger swell pushes in—6ft from the east with a short 7-second period. The energy is strong at 326 (moderate to strong), but the wind is a choppy cross-onshore and onshore. It’s messy and looks more like a kitesurfing day than a clean paddle session. This carries through the 23rd with 5ft and 490 energy, but again, choppy.
The only true standout, and I mean the only one, is Sunday morning, September 13th. The clean offshore wind makes the 3ft SSE swell worthwhile for a paddle. It’s a beginner-friendly break, and the offshore wind will hold it open. That’s your window. Don’t sleep on it, because the rest of the fortnight is a write-off.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the sky, and don’t force it when the wind is howling onshore.
Rusty.
