The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer around here. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet overall. There’s a real gap at the start – nothing worth paddling out for from Tuesday the 8th all the way through to Wednesday the 9th and even into the end of the week. The first real window of anything surfable isn’t until Thursday the 10th, and even then it’s nothing to get too excited about.
The standout period, if you can call it that, is a handful of mornings from Thursday the 10th through to the end of the 16-day run. The best of the bunch looks like the mornings of Saturday the 21st and Sunday the 22nd of September. On Saturday the 21st, Topaz Street will see a small 3 ft swell from the SW, with a long period of 17 seconds, giving it a bit of push. The combined wave energy is moderate (383). The wind is light and cross-on, so it won’t be glassy, but it’s clean enough to get a few. On Sunday the 22nd, similar 3 ft SW swell, 16-second period, energy is still moderate (353). The wind is a light cross-off from the SSE, making for cleaner conditions. Both these days are for the morning sessions – the afternoons get messy with onshore winds. Expect crowds here often, but with such small waves, it might not be too hectic.
The water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, about 73°F, which is over 3° different from the long-term average. That’s very unusual.
Honestly, none of this is firing. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the period is all over the place. There’s a few mornings with a clean look and a little cross-off breeze, but the waves are just too small to be a proper session. The best description is that it’s surfable but very ordinary. If you are a beginner, the small size is fine, but the inconsistent period and occasional long-period 19-second waves will make it tricky to find rhythm. For experts, there’s just no power.
Overall, it’s a flat spell with a few crumbs of hope. It tends not to stay this poor for long around here, so keep an eye on the forecasts.
