The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the local stretch.

Honestly, the next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag, and we're going to have to be patient. The forecast is pretty quiet for a good stretch, but there are a couple of windows that might just get the heart beating a little faster.

The first decent chance we see isn't until Monday the 11th of August. The swell is small, around 3 ft from the ENE, but the morning is showing a clean, cross-off wind. The energy is weak (125), so it's not going to be a world-beater, but for a quiet period it's something to get wet on.

The real standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is the morning of Tuesday the 18th of August. The swell picks up to 5 ft from the ESE, and the combined energy is a solid moderate (208). What makes this special is the light breeze and cross-off wind, leaving the surf clean and glassy. It's a beach and breakwater setup, so with that moderate energy it's going to be a good one for a paddle. The water temp is about 65°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

This is the best on offer, but it's a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecasts. For the rest of the week, it's mostly small and messy. There's a little bump on the 19th of August with 6 ft ESE swell, but the cross-on wind and rain showers will make it a grovel. The following week looks pretty flat and wind-affected, with nothing really screaming out.

So, in short: get excited for the 18th of August morning, but be prepared for a lot of waiting.

Rusty.
