The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've got a look at what's coming up for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it's a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a few windows where it'll be worth getting wet.
The water's sitting at 60°F at Tramandai Pier (Platforma), which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so don't be shy with the wetsuit.
The first half of the week is pretty average. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th have some solid swell around 6ft to 8ft from the SSE, but the wind is cross-onshore, and the wave energy is moderate (928) to strong (2287). It's going to be choppy and messy. Thursday the 27th is a write-off with a short period 7-second ENE swell pumping in at 8ft and strong cross-shore winds. This is more of a kite surfing setup than a paddle one.
The real standout starts to shape up on Friday the 28th. We've got a clean 7ft swell from the ENE with a 9-second period, and light WSW cross-offshore winds. The combined energy is moderate (752), and the conditions are looking clean. Saturday the 29th is even better – light rain, but the wind is SW at 5 km/h, cross-offshore, and the 5ft ENE swell is clean and glassy. The energy drops to 379, but the quality is there. This is the best bet for the near-term.
From Sunday the 30th through to the end of the first week, it's a bit of a mixed bag. Sunday afternoon has a glassy 4ft ENE swell, but the wind is calm, so it's worth a look. The 31st and the start of September are mostly marginal, with a few clean windows but nothing to write home about.
Now, looking into the second week, there's a promising window. Friday the 5th of September is looking like a true standout. A solid 8ft S swell with a 12-second period rolls in, combined with a light N cross-offshore wind. The energy is strong (1501), and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. Saturday the 6th of September morning is also good, with a glassy 7ft S swell, but it's a touch smaller. This is a long-range call, so it's promising but keep an eye on it.
The rest of the second week – from Sunday the 6th onwards – goes downhill with onshore winds and small, weak swell. The break is inconsistent anyway, so a quiet run isn't unusual.
Overall, make the most of Friday 28th and Saturday 29th August, and keep an eye on Friday 5th September for a potential gem.
Rusty.
