Tramandai Pier (Platforma) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the line at Tramandai Pier (Platforma).

Right now, there’s bugger all worth paddlin’ out for – we’ve got a few days of messy, blown-out slop and onshore winds that’ll have you fightin’ chop the whole session. The forecast really starts to look up from Monday morning, the 7th. The water temp’s sittin’ about average for this time of year at 62°, so nothin’ unusual there.

Monday morning, 7th September is your first solid window. A clean 5 ft swell from the south at 10 seconds, with a nearly glassy NNW breeze. The combined swell energy’s moderate at 504, and the conditions should be real fun. This is the pick of the early week – a good reminder why you wait out the dross. Keep an eye on the afternoon though, as the wind swings onshore and turns it into a choppy mess.

The rest of that week and into the next is a mixed bag of small, weak, or onshore junk. There’s a couple of tiny clean slivers, but nothin’ to get excited about. The standouts come later.

Monday afternoon, 14th September is a beauty for the experienced crew. A solid 8 ft easterly swell at 9 seconds, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the north. The combined energy’s strong at 1051, and it’ll be clean. That’s proper groundswell power – good for the more confident surfer.

Then Thursday morning, 17th September brings another cracker. A 6 ft south swell at 11 seconds – that’s a nice long period – with a light offshore from the WNW. The energy’s moderate to strong at 730, and it’s set to be super clean. That’s a great option for a more relaxed, lined-up session.

After that, the weekend of the 19th shows a bit of life with glassy conditions on Saturday morning – a small 5 ft easterly swell but dead calm, which’ll be a treat for the logs and fun boards. The combined energy’s weak at 237 though, so it’s more about the vibe.

Overall, the two true standouts are Monday afternoon the 14th for experienced surfers and Thursday morning the 17th for cleaner, more manageable waves. The rest is a bit of a scratch, but those two windows are worth lockin’ in.

Rusty.
