The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Triggs Beach Adelaide.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window looks pretty grim for paddling out. There’s a long, dry gap right from the start. We don’t see anything worth getting wet for until we get into the second week, and even then, it’s a real struggle. From Wednesday the 2nd of September all the way through to Monday the 14th of September, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 feet, often with onshore or cross-onshore winds messing it up. The energy is weak, barely registering (16, 5, 89) – it’s just not happening.
The only faint glimmer comes on Tuesday the 15th of September. We get a pulse of 2 feet swell from the north, with a short period of 4 seconds. The energy is still low (17), but the wind swings north-northwest, giving us a cross-shore breeze. It’s nothing to write home about – lumpy and a bit choppy – but it’s the only window where a beginner might find a tiny, sloppy wave. The water temp is sitting at 59°, about average for this time of year, so a 4/3 wetsuit is the go.
Honestly, for most of this run, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The consistent cross-offshore winds on many days, combined with the tiny swell, are a write-off for us. This kind of blank run is a bit more normal for this sheltered spot. It’s a tough stretch, but keep an eye on the charts – the winter swells can change fast.
Rusty.
