The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the local lineup for you.
Look, I'm gonna level with you. For the next week and a half, it's pretty damn flat at Walton Rocks (Power Plant). We're looking at a long, dry spell from now until about the 26th of September. There's just nothing happening – tiny windswell, crappy onshore winds, and not a single wave worth paddling for. It's one of those frustrating stretches where you're better off tuning up your board or going for a run.
But hold up, don't chuck the wetsuit in the back of the closet just yet. Things start to look a little more interesting towards the very end of the outlook.
The only real chance we've got pops up on Saturday the 26th of September. We finally see a pulse of energy arrive, with swell coming out of the ENE pushing about 5 ft. The period stretches out to a nice 11 seconds, which is proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is a solid 569 (moderate), so there's some grunt behind it. The morning is the pick, with a light NW cross-shore wind cleaning it up nicely, giving us some gentle cross-shore with slight cross-chop. It's still only a 2 out of 10 for quality, and the report mentions "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions," so it’s not going to be a classic, but it's the first real opportunity we've had in two weeks.
Then, the very next morning on Sunday the 27th of September, the swell bumps up a touch more. We're looking at about 6 ft from the ENE with a very long period of 12 seconds. The combined wave energy jumps to 1197 (strong). The morning session again looks best with light NNW cross-onshore winds keeping it from being a total mess. This is the standout for the entire period. The wave period is long, so at this beach and reef setup, it might wrap in a little weird and be a bit walled-up, but the energy is there. That afternoon, the wind swings onshore out of the NE and spoils it, so the early bird gets the worm here.
From the 28th, the wind gets messy again and the quality drops right back off.
So, the rundown: it's a complete bust until the last weekend of September. If you're desperate for a paddle, the best bet is a dawn session on Sunday the 27th. It's not perfect, but after all that nothing, it'll feel like a proper wave. Keep your expectations in check, but at least the forecast is showing some life.
Rusty.
