The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's get into it, eh. We're looking at a pretty quiet stretch here. The first bit of anything worth paddling for shows up on the morning of the 19th, but I wouldn't rush out the door. The real story is a long stretch of nothing after that.
Alright, first up, Topaz Street on Wednesday morning, the 19th of August. We've got a tiny 2ft swell rolling in from the SSW. The energy is weak, sitting at 258 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The wind is a light cross-shore from the SSW, which is okay, but the waves are pretty marginal. It's a beach and jetty spot, so with this small swell, you're looking at knee-high dribblers. The period is a long 15 seconds, which means there's some travelling energy, but not enough size to make it worthwhile. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing special.
Then we get a real dry spell. From Thursday the 20th of August all the way through to the morning of Sunday the 30th of August, the reports are all poor or marginal. Most days are just blown out with onshore winds or too small. The energy is low, staying mostly in the 100s and low 200s. It's a long gap, more than a week of nothing to get excited about.
Now, the one actual standout. Sunday morning, the 30th of August. This is it. The swell is still a modest 3ft from the SSW, but the wind is glassy. Absolutely glassy. The energy is a solid 328 (combined energy of all swells directed here), which is a bit more punch. The forecast says "expect good surf conditions," and with that glassy surface, a 15-second period, and a clean cross-off shore, you'll get some clean, smooth little runners. The break is fairly consistent, but it can get crowded often, so get in early. For a small wave, this is the best on offer in the whole window. After that, the 31st of August brings a bit of a bump with a 4ft short-period (7 seconds) wind swell from the W, but it's a cross-on mess and not worth chasing.
So, to wrap it up: a long, quiet run with one glassy morning on the 30th that's worth a look. The rest of the period is mostly a write-off. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
