The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – looking at this forecast for Walton Rocks (Power Plant) and the next couple of weeks is a bit of a tough one. The finder's turned up nothing but "poor surf conditions" across the entire 16-day window, with scores bottoming out at zero every single time. It’s one of those spells where the ocean just isn’t cooperating for us paddle surfers.
The water temp is sitting at a balmy 84°F for the start of the period, which is about average for this time of year, so at least the swim will be nice.
We’ve got a long, dry gap here. From Sunday the 9th of August right through to Monday the 24th of August, there’s not a single session that’s worth paddling out for. The swell energy is tiny – we’re talking combined energy values mostly in the single digits or low double digits (4 to 62), which is weak. The swell heights barely scrape 2ft, and the periods are often short, in the 4 to 8-second range, meaning weak, crumbly waves. The rare longer period swell (13-15 seconds) around the 18th and 19th only shows up at 0.7ft to 1ft, so it’s all show and no go.
Now, the winds do offer some clean windows. You’ll see a few mornings with glassy conditions or light offshore breezes from the SW or WSW, particularly on the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August and again on the morning of Friday the 21st of August. But with such tiny swell to work with, it’s just flat and clean – a lake rather than a surf break. The break itself is a beach and reef setup, and with the predominant E to SE wind being cross or cross-on, it’s often choppy.
This spot is very consistent, but in this case, it’s consistently flat. For a stretch this long with no recommendations, it’s a real bummer. The only thing getting excited here would be the kite surfers if a bit of breeze kicks up, but for us with a paddle, it’s a solid two-week wait.
Hang in there, the forecasts can always change, but right now, I’d save the gas money.
