The Lowdown

G’day, this is Rusty.

Let’s be real—there’s a bit of a wait for anything decent here at Tramandai Pier (Platforma). The next week or so is looking pretty average, with building swell but poor winds and messy conditions. The water temp is 60°F, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you’ll want a thick wetsuit.

We’ve got a gap in quality surf ahead. The first real standout doesn’t show up until Saturday the 29th of August. That morning, we’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the east-northeast, with a period of 9 seconds and light offshore winds from the west at 3 mph. The combined wave energy is moderate at 382, and conditions are clean. It’s small but promising for a fun session on a longboard or fish. The afternoon holds up too, with 5ft east-northeast swell and a cross-offshore breeze from the west-southwest at 9 mph, keeping it clean. The wave energy comes in at 399. Keep in mind this spot is inconsistent and can be a gamble, but Saturday’s the pick of the first week.

Looking further ahead, there’s a real standout on Monday the 7th of September. It’s still a way off, so treat it as promising rather than locked in, but it’s the best looking day in the whole run. The morning is glassy—light winds from the southwest at 3 mph, with a 5ft swell from the east-northeast at 10 seconds. The combined wave energy is 546, and the forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s the one to circle on the calendar. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and well-shaped, perfect for a peaceful dawn session.

The rest of the period is a mixed bag of cross-shore winds, lumpy conditions, and low scores. There’s a long stretch from the 30th of August through to the 6th of September where it’s mostly poor surf with onshore winds and choppy, messy waves. The swell sticks around 5ft to 7ft, but the wind destroys any chance of quality. On the 27th of August, we see a short-period 7ft east-northeast swell at 7 seconds, which is more of a washing machine than a wave—better suited to body surfing or maybe kite surfing than paddle surfing.

So, bottom line: if you’re keen, hit Saturday the 29th of August for a clean, small session, and keep your fingers crossed for Monday the 7th of September, which looks like the best day of the whole forecast. The in-between is mostly a write-off, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.

Rusty.
