The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on offer at Westport-The Cove.
The outlook starts with a quiet patch. No decent surf for the first few days – tiny swell and messy wind. The first real chance to get wet is on Thursday morning, August 13th. Swell is 4ft from the WNW with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is light offshore at 3 mph, so the surface will be glassy clean. Combined energy is moderate at 275. It’s not big, but for a beginner that’s a solid little session. The morning window is the one – by afternoon the wind turns cross-on and it’s choppy again.
After that, things go quiet again. Small swell, mostly 2ft to 3ft, with cross-on or side breeze. Not much to report. On Wednesday morning, August 19th, there’s another clean moment: 3ft swell from the west at 11 seconds, light offshore wind at 3 mph. Combined energy is moderate at 307. Still small, and the afternoon messes it up.
By late August, the swell bumps up. Tuesday, August 25th shows 5ft from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds, but the wind is cross-on at 12-16 mph, making it choppy. Combined energy is strong at 650, but the wind kills it. At a beach/jetty break, that’s more for kite surfing than paddling.
Water temp is 61°F, about average for this time of year.
There’s no true standout in the whole 16 days. The only decent go is Thursday morning, August 13th – small, clean, and good for beginners.
Rusty.
