West Shore Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get this straight. I’ve looked at the whole 16-day window, and the truth is plain: there’s just not much to get excited about. The only break that shows up is West Shore Beach, and it’s a real struggle for any decent surf. The whole pattern is flat, small, and uninspiring, so don’t be holding your breath for a session.

The best we’ve got is a tiny blip early on. Wednesday morning, September 9th, there’s some life. Swell is a small 4ft coming from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, reading 163. The big win here is the wind – glassy out of the west at 3 mph. That’ll keep the water clean. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so if you’re learning, this is your window. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on.

Thursday morning, September 10th, it drops off fast. Swell is down to 2ft from the ESE, still 8 seconds, and the energy is weak at 50. The wind is glassy again from the NNW at 3 mph, so it’s clean but tiny. You could get a few ankle-biters, but it’s not worth the paddle.

Friday morning, September 11th, we get a little bump. Swell is 3ft from the SE, but the period is short at 6 seconds, so it’s weak and crumbly. Energy is only 59. The wind is offshore from the WSW at 6 mph, so the surface will be clean. It’s small, but you might catch a waist-high wave if you’re patient.

After that, it’s a long dry spell. From Saturday, September 12th, all the way through to Saturday, September 19th, the swell barely gets above 2ft, and the energy is almost nothing – mostly single-digit or low double-digit numbers. There’s a little pulse on Monday, September 14th morning, with 2ft from the SE and a long period of 12 seconds, but the energy is still weak at 70, and the wind is cross-offshore. It’s a tease, but not a real session.

Sunday, September 20th morning shows a tiny bit of swell from the NNW at 2ft with a 3-second period – that’s just wind chop, not surf. Energy is 14. Not worth a look.

The last chance is Wednesday, September 23rd morning. Swell comes up to 2ft from the SE with a 12-second period, and the energy is moderate at 140. The wind is cross-shore from the NW at 6 mph, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. It’s still small, but the longer period means it might have a bit of push. Don’t expect much.

Thursday, September 24th morning has offshore wind from the SSW at 9 mph, but the swell is only 1ft from the SE. Energy is 22. Clean but flat.

So, what’s the call? The only standout, if you can call it that, is Wednesday morning, September 9th at West Shore Beach. It’s the biggest and cleanest the whole stretch. After that, you’re looking at a lot of flat, weakness, and a few small, clean windows. For a beginner, those early morning glass-offs are your best bet. For anyone else, it’s a long wait for anything real. The area is just not delivering this time.
