The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer over the next couple of weeks. It’s been a pretty quiet start, but there are a few windows that might get your heart pumping, especially if you’re patient.
The first real chance to get wet is on Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. We’ve got a clean little pulse at Tramandai Pier (Platforma). The swell is coming from the ENE at 4 ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW, and the wave energy is moderate (214). It’s not a monster, but it’s clean and surfable, and after a few days of nothing, that feels like a win. The water temp is about average for the time of year, which is a decent start.
The real standout of the whole forecast is Tuesday morning, the 4th of August. The stars align for a glassy session at Tramandai Pier. The wind goes dead, with a glassy state from the NNW at just 3 mph. The swell is a clean 3 ft from the SSE, with a nice 11-second period, giving it some real groundswell punch. The combined energy is moderate (285). This is the kind of morning where the ocean looks like a mirror, and the waves will have some shape. Crowds are possible, so get down early. This is the best on offer for the whole two weeks.
After that, things get a bit messy again. The next decent window is the morning of Friday, the 7th of August. The swell is 3 ft from the SSE, period 11 seconds, with a cross-offshore wind from the WSW keeping it clean. Energy is moderate (326). It’s a solid option, but not as glassy as the Tuesday session.
Later in the run, on Monday morning, the 10th of August, the swell size bumps up to 5 ft from the S, but the wind is a light cross-on from the S, which will put some ripples on the face. The wave energy is moderate (319). It’s a bit of a grumbler, but it’s surfable if you’re not fussy.
The second week looks pretty ordinary overall. The swell tries to pick up around the 13th and 14th of August, with heights around 8 ft from the ENE, but the wind is mostly cross-on or cross-shore, and the period is short at 8 seconds. That kinda energy (760) is a lot of water moving around, but it’s going to be lumpy and messy. For the experienced crew, there might be a few, but it’s not a friendly forecast.
So, the standout is undeniably Tuesday morning, the 4th of August. Set your alarms, because that’s the one. Everything else is a pick-and-choose game.
Rusty.
