The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on at the North Wall.
Honestly, it’s pretty grim for the next week and a half. The first decent option doesn’t pop up until Saturday the 19th of September, and even that is more of a “maybe” than a sure thing. Most of the run is flat or close to it, with swell heights barely a foot or less. The water temp is 66°F, which is right on the average for this time of year.
Tuesday the 8th of September has a tiny 0.7ft bump with a cross-off south wind, but the combined energy is only 12 – dead ocean.
Wednesday the 9th is clean both sessions but flat. Not worth a paddle.
Thursday the 10th morning finally shows a 2ft SE pulse with offshore SSW wind at 12 mph, which will clean things up. Energy creeps up to 55, but it’s still weak. The report says “very ordinary conditions.” Have a look, but don’t get your hopes up.
From Friday the 11th through to Friday the 18th, it’s a long dry spell. Tiny swell, onshore or crummy winds. There’s one moment on Saturday the 12th morning that goes glassy, but with only 0.7ft from the ENE, there’s nothing to ride.
The one true standout is the morning of Saturday the 19th of September. We get a 3ft NNE swell with a light WNW cross-off breeze. That’s offshore for the North Wall, and combined wave energy jumps to 101 – finally some push in the water. It’s not a big swell, so fine for beginners and intermediates, and clean conditions will make it the best window in the whole 16 days. Crowds are noted as “often” here, so expect some company.
After that, it drops again. The afternoon of Tuesday the 22nd shows 4ft from the ENE, but with a short 5-second period and cross-off wind, it’ll be messy and weak.
Overall, a rough run. The North Wall needs clean wind and a decent direction to work. Forecasts can always change, so keep an eye out, but the 19th of September morning is your best bet.
Stay stoked.
