The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks down at Walton Rocks (Power Plant). Gotta be straight with you – it’s a real quiet stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with hardly anything to get excited about for quite a while.
The first week is essentially a write-off. From now right through to the end of August and into the first few days of September, we’ve got tiny dribblers. We’re talking ankle to knee-high slop, with swell heights barely cracking 2 ft. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, messing up what little energy there is. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly sitting below 100 (8-97 mark). It’s poor conditions all the way – not worth paddling out for.
That flat spell drags on into the first week of September too. Wednesday the 2nd shows a slight bump in energy, hitting 102 (moderate), but it’s still cross-on and the wave height is only 1 ft, with a short period. Not a real option.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t come until Sunday, the 6th of September. Sunday morning has the best chance we’ve seen. The wind goes glassy – light SSE at 3 mph – and the swell gets to around 2 ft from the east with a 12-second period. The energy is up at 145 (moderate). It’s surfable, but just very ordinary. Not a standout, but it’s clean.
Then we get a promising little window on Monday the 7th. Monday afternoon looks like the pick of the whole outlook. The wind shifts to light SSE at 3 mph and goes cross-off, giving us clean conditions. Swell sits at 2 ft from the ENE with a solid 12-second period, and the energy jumps to 237 (strong). That’s the one day where you’d actually expect good surf for the break. It’s not big, but with that period and offshore wind, the shape should be there.
After that, Tuesday the 8th morning is still clean with a cross-off wind and 3 ft from the ENE, but it’s ordinary again. Then the wind goes back onshore and it’s done.
So the honest truth? There’s a whole lot of nothing for over a week. If you can wait, aim for Monday the 7th of September afternoon. That’s your best shot. Everything else is just checking the bank and coming home dry.
Keep an eye on it – forecasts can change, and it rarely stays this quiet forever.
