The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming our way.
Honestly, it’s a slow start. From now through the end of August and into the first week of September, it’s flat and funky. Swell heights are tiny, barely hitting 2ft, with short, weak periods of 4 to 8 seconds, and combined energy readings are low, mostly between 11 and 96 – barely a pulse. Winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, making everything choppy and messy. There’s a real dry spell; nothing worth paddling out for until the second week of September.
We get a tiny bump around Saturday the 6th, with swell heights reaching 3ft and combined energy climbing into the low 100s (124 Sunday morning), but winds are still cross-onshore and the quality is poor. Not the one.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Wednesday, September 9th. The morning at Walton Rocks (Power Plant) is looking like the best of the bunch. We’ve got a 4ft NE swell with a 7-second period, and combined energy hits 288 – that’s moderate energy with some punch. The real winner is the wind: glassy, dead calm. That means clean, smooth faces. It’s not huge, but for this stretch, it’s a standout. The swell direction (NE) matches the optimum for this break. Water temp is sitting around 86°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Thursday the 10th morning also offers a chance: a 3ft ENE swell with a light offshore wind from the SSW. Combined energy is only 83, so it’s weak, but clean conditions can make a small wave feel fun. Not a standout, but a salvageable session.
Looking further out, the 11th and 12th of September see a slight bump in period to 10-11 seconds and combined energy in the 100-138 range, but swell heights drop back to 2ft to 2ft. Winds are cross-offshore or light, so it’ll be clean, but the size is really marginal. It’s a promising signal for a longer period groundswell, but the size just isn’t there.
Best Bet: If you’ve got one session to chase, make it the morning of Wednesday, September 9th. That glassy 4ft NE swell is the pick of the forecast. The rest of the window is either flat, onshore junk, or too small to get excited about.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts.
Rusty.
