The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – we're looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Walton Rocks. The next couple of weeks are flat, flat, flat. The pattern's just not firing with any real push.
We're starting off on Friday the 14th and honestly, there's nothing to get excited about. We're talking ankle-snappers at best, with a tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft easterly pulse. The combined wave energy is barely registering at just (3). You'd be spending more time floating than riding. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, which is nice, but you won't be sweating it.
Saturday the 15th through to the end of the first week is more of the same. A few glassy mornings, like Sunday the 16th morning with a light SSW breeze, but the swell is still a pathetic 1ft. It’s a lake out there. Towards the end of the week, we get a little bump in period on Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st, with a light offshore wind (WSW), but the swell's still only 0.7ft and the energy is low (7 to 9). Not enough to surf.
The second week doesn't bring much hope either. From Sunday the 23rd through Wednesday the 27th, we see some 1ft mushy slop swinging around from the NE and ESE, but the period is depressingly short – down to 4 or 6 seconds. That's pure wind chop with very weak energy (14-26). The winds are mostly onshore or cross, making it choppy and unappealing. It's flat enough that this setup actually looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle.
The very end of our window, Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th, we're back to tiny 1ft leftovers with no power. There’s just no rideable surf in this 16-day window for Walton Rocks (Power Plant). It's a drought, plain and simple. For an exposed beach and reef like this, blank runs like this are more the norm when the trade winds settle in and there's no distant storm activity. Keep the board in the car and the wax on the shelf – maybe the forecasts will change.
Rusty.
