The Lowdown
Imperial
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming for the local stretch.
For the next week and a half, it’s going to be a real test of patience. We’re looking at a flat spell kicking things off. From Sunday the 16th right through to Friday the 21st, it’s about as ordinary as it gets. Tiny, weak waves – we’re talking 0.7ft to 4ft max – with a lot of cross-off breezes messing up what little bump there is. The combined energy is pathetic, sitting between 5 and 194 (weak to low-moderate). Don’t bother paddling out unless you’re desperate for a splash.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 22nd. The afternoon brings a sudden jump in size from the south, hitting 7ft, but the wind is howling offshore at 25 mph. The combined energy rockets up to 866 (strong), but that strong offshore wind will make it a battle to get out and the waves will be hard to paddle into. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it's a mission.
Now, Sunday the 23rd is where we get our true standout. The morning session is the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a solid 6ft south swell with a moderate offshore breeze. The combined energy is still a beefy 866 (strong), but with that clean wind and a 10-second period, Playa Varesse should be offering up some proper, punchy lines. This is the one to circle on the calendar. If you’ve got a board, you’ll want to be in the water first thing. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird to report.
Monday the 24th keeps the hope alive with a gentler, but still clean, 4ft south swell in the morning. The combined energy drops to 355 (moderate), but with a gentle offshore wind, it’ll be a fun, easy day for the intermediates. After that, it’s a slow fade. The rest of the week into the end of August gets smaller and wind-affected, with a few glassy moments on the 27th and 28th offering tiny, clean waves for the loggers, but nothing to get excited about.
So, to sum it up: we’ve got a long flat spell, then one real standout morning on Sunday the 23rd of August. Don’t sleep on it.
Rusty.
