Weld Road Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Weld Road.

Straight up, this is a tricky 16-day outlook. The swell is mostly too big for this reef setup, so we’ve got a real stop-start forecast. The first week is a write-off for quality surfing – the waves are pumping, but way too juicy for the spot, and the wind is messy. The real window opens up from September 9th and runs through the 13th, and that’s where we find the only surf worth paddling out for.

The standout session is hands down the morning of September 13th. We’re looking at a clean 4ft of swell, and it’s dead glassy – not a breath of wind. The energy is still solid (1764), and that long period of 18 seconds means groundswell with real push. That’s a best-on-offer morning, no doubt.

The next best is the 11th and 12th of September. The morning of the 11th has clean 6ft waves with light offshore winds, and the afternoon of the 11th and the morning of the 12th both have 6ft of clean, glassy swell with light breezes. The energy is moderate to strong (2958, 2185), and the wind is offshore, so the reef will be handling that long period swell nicely.

September 9th morning is also a looker – 6ft clean with a light offshore breeze, but the swell period is shorter at 9 seconds, so it won’t have the same grunt as the later days.

Water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

September 16th and 17th see a massive pulse of 20ft and 13ft swell, but it’s too big for this break – expert only territory, and even then, the reef is going to be a washing machine. Skip it.

So, overall, the 9th to the 13th is where it’s at. The mornings of the 11th, 12th, and especially the glassy 13th are your golden tickets. Get on it.

Rusty.
