The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for our local shores. We’re looking at a pretty bleak start, I gotta be honest. The first few days are a write-off, with poor conditions and sloppy onshore winds making things a mess. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate at best, but it’s not worth paddling out for. The only real action is a long way off, but it looks like it could be a cracker.
The first real light at the end of the tunnel comes on Monday, the 3rd of August. We’ve got a clean, glassy morning with a 4ft SSE swell, period a solid 11 seconds, and a light north-easterly breeze. The combined energy is moderate (427), and the water temp is a touch warmer than average at 51°F. It’s clean, but the swell isn’t huge. It’s a good one for the beginners and longboarders to get a few.
But the real standout, the one you want to circle on the calendar, is the stretch from the 9th of August into the 10th and 11th. That Sunday afternoon, the 9th, we see a strong pulse of S swell at 5ft, 14 seconds, with a massive combined energy of 1033. It’s offshore and clean, but it’s getting big.
Then Monday, the 10th of August, is the pick of the lot. We’re talking a 6ft to 6ft S swell, 12 seconds, with clean offshore winds from the west, dropping to light. The combined energy is strong at 890 to 1011. This is proper groundswell, and it’ll be breaking well. That morning session is going to be quiet, clean, and the waves will have some push. The 11th of August, Tuesday, pushes up to 7ft, with a 12 second period, and combined energy of 1330. That’s expert territory, and the cross-onshore wind in the afternoon will mess it up a bit. Monday the 10th is the day to be on it.
Tuesday the 11th morning is still firing with a 7ft S swell, but the afternoon wind picks up onshore. The 12th of August, Wednesday, cleans up again with a 6ft SSE swell and glassy conditions in the afternoon. That’s a solid one.
After that, the swell drops off and the winds turn tricky again. So, to sum it up: the first week is a dud. The second week, from the 9th of August onwards, is where the magic is. Monday the 10th is your best bet. Be there.
Rusty.
