The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow start, so patience is the name of the game.
The first chunk of the outlook is a real grind. From now until the end of August, the energy just isn’t there. We’ve got small, messy swell and a lot of onshore wind. It’s the kind of stuff that’ll have you checking the wax in your shed rather than the waves. There’s a solid gap of poor conditions with no real standouts for the first week or so.
The real story starts to build around the very end of the 16-day window. The first proper glimmer of hope comes on Thursday, September 4th at Toes Over. It’s a beach/jetty setup, so it can be a bit fickle, but we’re looking at a clean morning with a glassy offshore wind from the SE. The swell is a small 3 ft from the SSW, but it’s got a nice long period of 17 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is racking up to a solid 521 (moderate). The wave quality is marginal, but the wind is right and the swell is lining up. This is a sneaky good option for a patient surfer.
But the absolute standout, the one you should circle on the calendar, is Saturday, September 5th, morning. The conditions at Toes Over are about as good as it gets. The wind is glassy – completely flat – coming from the SE. The swell is holding at 3 ft from the SSW with a 16-second period. The combined energy is a chunky 490 (moderate). The forecast is calling for “good surf conditions,” which is rare in this run. The water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit. The crowd situation at Toes Over can be a bit of a lottery, but for a morning this clean, expect some company. This is the session to aim for.
After that, the swell sticks around into the 6th, but the wind turns more onshore, making it a bit choppier. The energy is still there (542 on Sunday morning), but it won’t be as clean as that Saturday glass-off.
So, bottom line: it’s a long, quiet wait, but the payoff comes on the first weekend of September. The 5th is the day. It’s not a big swell, but it’s clean, long-period, and has a bit of push. Let’s hope it holds.
Rusty.
