The Lowdown

Right, let’s talk about this upcoming stretch in feet and miles per hour, because that’s how some of us still think about it. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. We’ve got some decent height on the way, but the wind’s gonna be a real chatterbox for the first half of the week. The standout window looks like it’s shaping up for Friday the 28th of August and into the weekend – that’s where the magic could happen. There’s also a sneaky good session further out on the 1st of September that’s worth keeping an eye on. The water temp is running at 61°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, no shock there.

Right, so Monday the 24th kicks it off with some solid energy. There’s 7ft of S swell rolling in with a period of 13 seconds, and the combined energy is pumping at 1708 (moderate-strong). But the problem is that stubborn SSE wind blowing at 15 km/h (9 mph), putting a cross-on chop on everything at Tramandai Pier (Platforma). It’s gonna be a bit of a washout for paddling, rough and choppy. Not worth getting too excited about.

Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th are more of the same story, really. Swell hangs around between 6ft and 8ft from the SSE, but that wind just won’t quit. It’s a solid cross-on most of the time, gusting up to 25 km/h (16 mph). The ocean’s going to be messy and lumpy. Thursday the 27th is a write-off too, with a short-period 8ft wave in the afternoon that’s just ugly.

Now, here’s where things get interesting. Friday morning, the 28th of August. The wind drops right out to glassy conditions – a light 5 km/h (3 mph) from the ENE. The swell is a clean 7ft from the ENE with a period of 9 seconds. The water will be clean as a whistle. The combined energy is 771 (moderate). This is your window. It’s not a massive swell, but with zero wind, Tramandai Pier is going to look and feel incredible. That morning session is the standout of the whole forecast. Friday afternoon stays glassy, with the swell easing a touch to 6ft. It’s still lovely.

Saturday the 29th keeps the clean theme going with light SW winds at 10 km/h (6 mph), giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. Swell is a very manageable 5ft to 5ft from the ENE. It won’t be as perfect as Friday’s glass, but it’ll be super fun and clean for a long session. Sunday the 30th turns a bit messy again, so don’t get your hopes up.

Now, jump ahead to Monday the 31st of August. Morning looks promising with a moderate offshore W wind at 20 km/h (12 mph) on that 5ft ENE swell. That’s clean and groomed, but the energy is only moderate (340). Then there’s a real curveball coming on Tuesday the 1st of September. We get a nice pulse of S swell, 8ft at 11 seconds, with a clean cross-off W/SW wind. Combined energy jumps to 1461 (moderate-strong). That’s a proper session brewing for the more experienced crew. This is your second big highlight.

After that, things taper off into the second week, honestly. The wind gets messy again from the 2nd of September onwards – lots of cross-on and onshore junk. Swell drops below 5ft for a few days, and it’s mostly poor or marginal. Don’t plan any big trips around that period. A little glimmer shows up on the 6th of September Sunday afternoon with a clean, cross-off wind on a 5ft SSE swell, but it’s not a standout.

So in short: your best bet is the glassy morning of Friday the 28th of August. Get in the water early. The second-best is that cleaner S swell on Tuesday the 1st of September, which will have some punch for the better surfers. Don’t bother much with the rest unless you just need a paddle.
