The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Westport area over the next couple of weeks.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. We've got a pretty blank run from Tuesday the 1st right through to the end of the first week. The swell is there, but it's either wrong wind or just messy. It's one of those periods where you're better off waiting for the next move.
The only real standout in this whole forecast is shaping up for Monday, 16 September. It's a ways off, but it's the one to circle on the calendar. Westport-The Cove (beach/jetty) is looking at a solid 5ft swell from the West, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is strong, hitting 791. But the real beauty is the wind – glassy conditions in the morning with a light offshore tickle from the NNE. That's going to be clean, clean, clean. This one's for the crew who can wait, because it's the best we've got. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no major surprises there.
The run-up to that Monday is pretty grim. We get a bit of a pulse on Wednesday the 2nd with 7ft to 8ft swell from the SSW, but the wind is howling onshore, making it a complete mess. The energy is there (733 and 1034), but it's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session. That's a no-go.
Thursday the 3rd morning has a 6ft West swell with a nice 11-second period, and the energy is strong at 1017, but the wind is a light cross-onshore. It's surfable but far from perfect. After that, the swell drops and the wind stays onshore for days, with most sessions rated as poor. We get a few small windows of clean, cross-off wind on the 4th and 7th, but the swell is tiny – 3ft and 2ft respectively.
So, in short: the next week and a half is a waiting game. The only real event is that Monday the 16th. Keep your eyes on that one, but don't hold your breath for anything else.
Stay patient,
Rusty
