The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk it out in feet and miles, yeah. Rusty here, looking at the next 16 days for Tramandai Pier.
It’s a bit of a mixed bag, honestly. The first few days are a complete bust, so don't even bother until Wednesday the 2nd of September. The water’s sitting at a chilly 59°, which is about 3° colder than usual for this time of year, so you’ll want a good thick wetsuit.
The real standouts are Wednesday the 11th of September and Saturday the 12th of September.
For Wednesday the 11th, hit it in the morning. You’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the ENE, with a cross-offshore wind from the SW at 9 mph. The combined wave energy is solid at 678, and with those clean conditions, it’s gonna be a proper session. This is the best on offer, for sure.
Then, on Saturday the 12th, get up early for a glassy morning. The swell drops to about 4ft from the ENE, but with the wind completely dead (ESE at 3 mph and glassy), it’ll be as smooth as glass. The wave energy is still decent at 520, and for a few hours, the crowds shouldn’t be an issue.
The rest of the period has some honest mentions. Wednesday the 2nd of September morning has a clean 5ft from the E with a light cross-offshore breeze, and Thursday the 3rd of September morning sees a clean 4ft from the ESE with a long 11-second period that will give the waves some shape.
Later on, Tuesday the 15th of September morning looks tidy again with a 6ft ENE swell and light cross-offshore wind, giving you clean lines.
Honestly, don't bother with the first four days – it’s all onshore junk. From Friday the 4th through to Sunday the 6th, everything’s poor. There's a big chunk of messy swell in the middle of the month, too, with a massive 10ft to 12ft on the 9th and 10th, but that's way too big for this spot and the winds are all over the place. Save your energy for that Wednesday the 11th and Saturday the 12th.
Rusty.
Short Range ForecastHeavy rain (total 26mm), heaviest during Mon night. Very mild (max 17°C on Mon morning, min 13°C on Tue night).
