The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's look at what's coming up for Walton Rocks (Power Plant).
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: it's a tough stretch ahead. We've got a long, lean run here with no real waves on offer for the first two weeks. From the 30th of August all the way through to the 13th of September, the forecast is consistently grim, with tiny, weak swells and poor conditions dominating. The wave energy is mostly non-existent, with values barely scraping into double digits, like a measly 30 (weak energy) on the 30th morning. The water temp is sitting at a warm 85°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. It's just one of those flat spells where you're better off cleaning the wax off your board.
There is a small glimmer of hope, though, right at the very end of the outlook. On Monday the 14th, towards the afternoon, we finally see something a little different. A moderate offshore wind from the SW kicks up, and while the swell is still tiny at 2ft from the NE with a short period of 7 seconds, the wave energy picks up a bit to 82 (still weak to moderate). The forecast calls for surfable waves, but with very ordinary conditions. It's not a stand-out day by any stretch, but after two weeks of nothing, it’s the first sign of life. For an intermediate surfer, the main challenge here is that the wave energy is so low, and the swell direction is NE, which isn't the optimum direction from the Northeast that Walton Rocks prefers.
Because of the tiny, weak swell and the beach-and-reef setup with onshore winds through much of the period, this spot honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer looking for some wind than for a paddle surfer hunting waves. Crowds are possible at Walton Rocks sometimes, but with surf this poor, I wouldn't worry about company.
So, keep your expectations low. The best you can say is that the 14th afternoon offers a slight improvement, but it’s far from a classic. Forecasts can always change, but for now, it's a waiting game.
Rusty.
