The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, calling it as I see it.
To be honest, the next two weeks are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much happening. The first real chance of any surf worth paddling out for isn’t until Thursday, September 24th, a full two weeks away. That’s a long dry spell, so don’t get your hopes up for the next week and a half.
The water at Tices Sholls is a solid 75°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a nice feeling, but there’s been no swell to go with it.
The only day that looks even remotely interesting is Thursday morning, September 24th. The forecast is calling for a clean 7ft swell coming from the ESE, with a moderate wave energy (319). The wind is looking light and variable, almost glassy, with a slight cross-off breeze. That’s the kind of setup that could actually produce some clean, rideable surf. The only issue is the break is a sandbar, and with a 6-second period, it’s a short interval wind swell, so it won’t have the power of a groundswell, but for a spot that’s been flat for weeks, it’s a welcome sight. Keep in mind, Tices Sholls is a beginner spot, and 7ft is getting a bit too big for beginners. It’s still manageable, but you’ll want to be comfortable with a bit of size. Expect crowds, too, as it’s a spot that gets busy.
So, the takeaway? If you’ve got the patience, wait for the 24th of September. The rest is a write-off. Stay patient, and maybe the forecasts will change.
