The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Tices Sholls for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a slow run. The first couple of days are a write-off, with nothing but poor surf conditions and tiny, messy waves. You’re looking at a real quiet spell from Saturday the 22nd all the way through until the middle of the following week. We’re talking about a gap of several days where the swell is just gutless and the wind is doing us no favours.
Things start to look a little bit more promising around Tuesday the 25th afternoon. The wind finally swings offshore, and we get some clean, surfable conditions, but the waves are still tiny at 1 ft. The combined energy is weak (40), so it’s more of a longboard or a chance to get wet than anything to get excited about. Wednesday the 26th morning is actually glassy, with a light breeze, and the swell hangs in at 1 ft. It’s clean, but the energy is low (46).
The second week gets a little more interesting, but it’s still not a classic. By Tuesday the 1st of September, the swell period stretches out to 15 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell – but the height is only 1 ft. The combined energy jumps to 135, which is moderate, but the wind is up and cross-off, so it’s not going to be the cleanest. The best of the bunch might be Wednesday the 2nd of September morning. We’ve got a light westerly breeze, clean conditions, and a 2 ft swell from the SSE with a 12-second period. The combined energy is 185, which is the most push we’ve seen all forecast. It’s a small, clean, and surfable window, but it’s nothing to blow up about.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, aim for Wednesday the 2nd of September morning. That’s the standout, but it’s a low bar. The water temperature is sitting at 79°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 6° above average, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
That’s the story. Not much to sink your fins into, but the glassy mornings are there if you’re patient.
Rusty.
