The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, we’ve got a mixed bag coming up for Tramandai Pier. The next couple of weeks are gonna feel like a bit of a tease, with plenty of small windows and a few real standouts if you can time it right. The swell energy is mostly moderate, bouncing around, but we’ve got some solid pulses toward the end.

The first worthwhile session is this Friday afternoon, the 11th of September. The water’s sitting at 60°, which is a fair bit colder than usual, so don’t forget the steamer. Light north wind keeping it cross-off and clean, with a little 3 ft swell out of the ENE at 8 seconds. Not huge, but it’ll be tidy. Wave energy’s moderate (301).

Saturday morning the 12th offers a bigger 5 ft swell from the south, with a cross-off breeze and clean conditions, but the period is a short 7 seconds and energy’s moderate (510). It’s on the cusp – might be worth a look if you’re keen. Sunday morning the 13th drops off to 3 ft with light cross-shore wind, but it’s pretty small and unremarkable.

Then we get a dry spell. From Sunday afternoon through Monday and into Tuesday morning the 15th, it’s mostly poor with onshore or cross-onshore winds and small, messy waves. Tuesday morning the 15th finally breaks the drought – a clean 3 ft groundswell from the south, period out to 10 seconds, with a light offshore west wind and moderate energy (338). This is a solid pick. The longer period means better shape, but that south swell is a little tricky for the pier – expect some decent lines though.

Wednesday morning the 16th is another sneaky good one: 4 ft from ENE at 9 seconds, clean with light cross-off winds, energy up to 415. Nice for a midweek paddle.

Look out for Sunday morning the 20th – we’ve got glassy conditions with an easterly breeze so light it’s barely there. A 5 ft ENE swell at 8 seconds, energy moderate (347). That’s your classic dawny. Clean and tidy.

Monday morning the 21st also shapes up: 3 ft south groundswell at 10 seconds, light cross-off wind and clean, energy moderate (323). Another good one.

Now, the real standout is way down the track on Friday morning the 25th of September. This one’s a beast. We’re looking at a solid 7 ft swell from the south, period out to 9 seconds, with a clean offshore breeze from the west. The combined wave energy is strong (1005). That’s proper size – definitely for experienced surfers only, as it’s over the 5 ft mark. The south direction isn’t the optimum for the pier, but with that much juice and clean wind, it’ll push through. The afternoon gets bigger at 8 ft from the south, period up to 11 seconds and energy pumping at 1287, but the wind swings cross-onshore and chops it up. So, if you’re chasing the big stuff, Friday morning is your session, but be aware it’s a long-range call so less certain.

Between now and then there are plenty of days with iffy wind and messy surf, but there are enough clean slots to keep you keen. The pier can get crowded when it’s on, so keep that in mind.

Rusty.
