The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here, and I've got the surf outlook for the Tramandai Pier area. We're looking at a bit of a slow burner over the next couple of weeks, with some solid days sprinkled in, but you'll have to pick your moments.

Right now, it's all about Monday the 24th. The morning is the standout of the entire run. We've got a solid 8ft S swell with a deep-water period of 14 seconds – that's proper groundswell energy pumping in. The combined energy is massive, clocking in at 2534, so there's a lot of power in the water. A light SW cross-offshore breeze is on it, which will keep things clean. But listen, this is serious size. Over 8ft makes it expert territory only, especially at a beach/pier set-up. It’s a bit inconsistent, so you'll need patience, but the waves that come through will be worth the wait for the experienced crew. Crowds are possible here when it's good. For you beginners, this one's a firm no-go.

By Monday afternoon, the wind swings SSE and picks up, making things a bit choppy, and the swell drops a touch. Tuesday the 25th isn't worth paddling out with onshore ENE winds ruining the shape all day. Wednesday the 26th starts with a 7ft SSE swell and a long 14-second period, but a strong NE wind makes it messy, and the afternoon turns ugly with 16 mph onshore winds.

We hit a bit of a lull on Thursday the 27th with a mixed-bag wind and a short-period 8ft ENE swell that's just messy. Friday the 28th is where we get a glimmer. The morning has a light N cross-off breeze cleaning up a 7ft ENE swell. It's not as powerful as Monday, but still a fun size for intermediates. The afternoon is a beauty – glassy conditions with 6ft ENE swell. It's not huge, but with glass and some swell, that's a window worth chasing. The energy is moderate at 612.

Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th see the swell drop to the 5ft to 5ft range, but both mornings have glassy conditions. That's your small-wave gear out. The energy is weak, around 300-450 range. Good for a longboard and a quiet session, but nothing to get excited about.

The first week of September looks slim. Monday the 1st has a clean 5ft S swell in the morning, but it's a short 7-second period, so weak and fat. The rest of that week through to the 5th is a mix of poor conditions and small, onshore junk. Friday the 5th morning finally shows a clean, cross-off wind with a tiny 3ft SE swell from a 10-second period. It's small and weak (combined energy 235), but clean. By the 6th and 7th, we see a pulse of 7ft to 8ft ENE swell coming back, but it's all blown out by strong NE winds.

The real standout is Monday the 24th morning – that's your big-wave, expert-only session with a massive groundswell and clean wind. The second best is Friday the 28th afternoon, where you get glassy conditions and a more manageable 6ft swell for a fun afternoon surf. Don't expect much in between, as there are several days with absolutely no quality on offer, but keep an eye on those small, glassy mornings for a cruisy paddle.

Keep it salty.
