The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Westport-The Cove over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow start, but there’s a flicker of hope later on.
Right now, and for the next several days, it’s pretty grim. We’ve got a persistent cross-onshore breeze from the northwest that’s just messing things up. The swell is small, mostly around 2ft to 3ft from the SW or W, and the water is sitting at 56°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year. The wave energy is moderate, with readings between 200 and 500 (combined energy), but with that wind, it’s just choppy and messy. Honestly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for in this first week.
The first real glimmer of something decent shows up on Friday the 17th. The morning session sees a clean, cross-off breeze from the SSW, and the swell bumps up to 3ft from the west. The wave energy is strong at 603 (combined energy), and the wind is light enough to keep the surface clean. It’s not huge, but it’s the best we’ve seen in a while. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, that’s a solid window. Saturday the 18th morning also looks good, with a proper offshore wind from the SSW, 2ft west swell, and clean conditions.
After that, it gets a bit messy again until Tuesday the 21st. Tuesday morning is a standout. We get a 5ft swell from the WNW, with a clean cross-off breeze from the WSW. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s a bit of a windswell, but for The Cove, that’s manageable. The wave energy is strong at 502 (combined energy). The wind is practically nothing, just a slight air, so it’ll be glassy. This is the pick of the fortnight.
Looking further out, Friday the 24th morning has another chance with a 5ft swell from the WNW, a clean cross-off breeze, and wave energy dropping to 390 (combined energy). It’s a week and a half away, so don’t bank on it, but it’s worth keeping an eye on.
Overall, the first week is a write-off thanks to the wind. The best windows are the mornings of Friday the 17th, Saturday the 18th, and the standout Tuesday the 21st. After that, it’s hit or miss.
Rusty.
