The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Tramandai Pier – platforma. It’s a beach and pier setup, open to the swell, and the water temp is about 63°, so fairly normal for the season.
We’ve got a slow start. The first real look isn’t until Sunday the 17th of August. Earlier than that, it’s pretty messy. Wednesday the 12th is marginal with about 6ft from the SSE at 12 seconds and a cross breeze – just lumpy. Thursday and Friday are a bust with onshore wind and chop. Saturday the 15th has size but the wind is howling onshore, so no good.
Sunday the 17th morning is the first good window. The wind goes glassy with a light offshore. Swell is around 8ft from the ENE at 9 seconds. That’s a fair size, but the period is short so it could be a bit choppy inside. Still, it’ll be clean early for anyone who can handle it.
Things go quiet after that until the following week. The 20th and 21st are clean but small – 4ft and 3ft – just not enough push.
The real standout is Sunday the 23rd of August. Early morning, dead calm, with a 10ft southerly swell at 11 seconds. That’s heavy energy (3173). But at 10ft, that’s expert-only territory. It’ll look beautiful but it’s serious.
Then Monday the 24th afternoon, the glass comes back with a 7ft SSE groundswell at 14 seconds. Combined energy is 1736 – solid. Conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. The long period will make it wall up on the beach, so stay sharp.
And Tuesday the 25th morning is another cracker – 7ft from the SSE at 13 seconds with a light offshore. Clean as a whistle. Both these days are your best bets.
So, if you’re after the best, the Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning are the ones. The Sunday the 23rd is for the big-wave crew only. The first week is a blank, but that’s normal for the area – it won’t stay flat forever.
Rusty.
