The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's shaping up at Westport-The Cove.
Right off the bat, it’s a quiet start. The first few days are a write-off with tiny, weak, messy surf and onshore or cross winds messing things up. The combined wave energy is weak, so there's just no push. You’re looking at a gap of about three days before anything even starts to look surfable.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Friday the 14th in the morning. It’s still small, only 2ft, but that southwest swell is carrying a nice long 18-second period, and the wind swings to a light cross-offshore. It cleans things right up, but the wave energy is still low. It's a beginner-friendly knee-high wave with decent shape, but don't expect much power.
Saturday the 15th is where it starts to get interesting. The morning shows 2ft from the southwest with that lovely 18-second period again. The wind is a light cross-offshore, keeping it clean. The energy ticks up a notch. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, that's a decent little window of fun.
Now, the standout in the whole forecast is the morning of Friday the 21st of August. This is the one to pencil in. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the west, but the real story is the wind. It’s a light 6 mph cross-offshore from the southwest, giving us clean conditions. The wave energy is solid, and the period is 11 seconds, so there's some proper grunt behind it. This will be the best quality waves of the whole run, with nice, clean little lines peeling off.
Looking further out, Thursday the 27th of August morning also catches the eye. It's 2ft from the southwest with a 16-second period and, get this, glassy conditions. The wind is dead calm. That’s a rare treat. The energy is solid, so while it's not huge, the complete lack of wind will make the Cove look like a mirror. It'll be super user-friendly.
The water temp is sitting at 60°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
For the rest of the days, it's mostly onshore slop or light cross-shore chop. There are a few other mornings that are borderline, but they come with caveats like questionable tide or marginal conditions. Stick to those Friday mornings if you want the best of it.
This is Rusty, signing off.
