The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch ahead. The first solid week-plus is a bit of a write-off for anything decent. The combined wave energy is just a whisper, barely cracking 20 (14 to 25) for hours on end, and the swell is tiny. We're looking at a solid 11 days of proper nothing happening. The only real glimmer in that whole first week is a window on the morning of Wednesday, September 9th. The waves are small, only 3 ft from the southeast, but the wind goes glassy. The combined energy bumps up to 79, which is about as good as it gets, but it's still just surfable, not epic. You might get a few fun little ones.
Then, we get to the second week. The pattern shifts a tiny bit. The afternoon of Saturday, September 19th, the wind goes glassy again, and the swell shows a little more push at 4 ft from the northeast. The combined energy is still only 56, so it's ordinary, but at least it's clean. The next morning, the 20th, the swell stays around 2 ft, but the wind swings cross-onshore, so it's back to that messy feel.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is the very end of the run. On Monday morning, September 21st, we get a clean southwesterly offshore wind. The swell is a modest 3 ft, but it's from the southeast with a short period of 4 seconds. The energy is low at 36, so don't expect much, but it's the cleanest looking option in the whole window. The North Wall setup is a beach/breakwater, so with that offshore wind, it'll clean up nicely. Given the crowds are marked as "often", you might have to share it, but with the surf being this small, it probably won't be a circus.
Bottom line: it's a lean period. The forecast is reliable for the near term, and it's just not good. The long-range stuff on the 21st is promising, but it's a long way out. Don't get your hopes up too high.
