The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what West Dale has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, this is a pretty grim run of surf for West Dale. We’re looking at a solid 12-day stretch of no-go conditions from the start, with onshore winds, lumpy chop, and generally poor surf quality. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Wednesday, the 16th of September. For the morning, we get a brief window of cleaner conditions. The wind goes light and cross-offshore from the southeast, which cleans things right up. The swell is tiny though, only about 4 ft from the west-southwest with a short period of 7 seconds, and the energy is weak (134). It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. Don't expect much.
The only other moment that might be worth a look is a ways off, on Saturday the 19th of September. That morning, the wind drops to a glassy 3 mph from the southwest. The swell is even smaller, just 3 ft from the same direction, with a period of 5 seconds and very weak energy (73). It’s glassy, so it’ll be pretty, but you’ll be fighting for every ripple.
Overall, there’s nothing here that’s a standout. The consistent onshore flow and lack of any decent, clean swell make it a tough call. Stick to the flat spells, maybe the forecasts will change. This is a pretty normal blank run for the area.
Rusty.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for West Dale may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
