The Lowdown
Alright, let's take a look at what we've got. It's a tough stretch, boys. The next couple of weeks are mostly junk, and it'll take a while before we see anything worth suiting up for.
Right now, it's small and messy. Wednesday the 16th has a weak 1.0m SSE swell with a short 5-second period, and a fresh cross-shore breeze is making it lumpy. Not your day.
The rest of the week stays poor. Thursday the 17th morning has a bigger push of 3.0m from the SSE, but it's all over the place with a moderate cross-shore wind. That's over 8 feet, so it's for the experienced crew only, and even they will be fighting chop. The energy is strong, around 2099, but it's not doing us any favors. The period is a short 10 seconds.
From Friday the 18th through Sunday the 20th, it's a total write-off. The swell drops right off, 1.0m and below, with light onshore winds and weak energy readings under 100. Nothing to paddle for.
Early next week stays flat and inconsistent. Tiny surf, maybe a pulse on Monday the 21st from the north with a 4-second period, but it's essentially knee-high mush. The poor conditions just keep rolling.
A small bump appears on Thursday the 25th with 1.8m from the E, but it’s an 8-second period, light onshore wind, and it’s still poor quality. The energy is a bit more present, around 613, but the shape will be bad.
The weekend of the 27th brings more size, with 2.0m ENE on Sunday morning, but it's accompanied by rain showers and onshore winds. Not worth getting wet.
Then, finally, on October 1st, we see a change. Thursday morning at the Tweed River Breakwall (Tweed River) is the standout. The swell is 1.3m from the ENE with a 10-second period, and the wind turns cross-offshore from the NNW. That’s the cleanest we’ve seen it all forecast. The energy is moderate at 322, and it should finally offer some clean, rideable lines. This is the pick of the fortnight. The water temp is 21°, which is about average for the time of year.
So, it’s a long wait. The first real surfable conditions look to be on the morning of the 1st of October. Hang in there, but don’t hold your breath much before that. The long-range for the start of next month is promising, but it’s a fair way out, so we’ll see.
