The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for us at Westport-The Groins.
The next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf and tricky winds for the most part, but there is a real spark of life brewing on the horizon. The first real opportunity to get a decent wave doesn’t arrive until Tuesday, 1st September. Before that, it’s pretty grim with poor surf conditions and cross-onshore breezes, so don’t even bother waxing up until then.
Water temps are sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, roughly 62°.
The Good Stuff
The standout window is shaping up for Thursday, 3rd of September. This is the one to circle. We’ve got a solid swell pushing in from the West at 7ft, with a period of 11 seconds and a combined energy of 1188 (moderate wave energy). That’s proper groundswell, and it’ll be wrapping into the break. The wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the SSW, which is going to groom those faces into something special. Conditions are expected to be very good. This is going to be a session for the experienced crew, as that 7ft is getting into the territory where it’s only for the experts. The wave direction is a good match for the optimum.
Leading up to that, we have a couple of days that are worth a look if you’re desperate. Wednesday, 2nd September sees a jump in size with a 7ft SSW swell in the morning, but it’s a short period of 8 seconds and conditions are described as marginal. The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the quality might be a bit crumbly. The combined energy is 828 (moderate wave energy).
Tuesday, 1st September, is the first day we see a clean, gentle offshore wind from the SSW. The swell is only 3ft from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds. It’s surfable but very ordinary. Combined energy of 321 (moderate wave energy).
Saturday, 5th September and Sunday, 6th September offer some clean conditions again, but with tiny swell around 2ft. It’s more of a longboard session, but the winds are clean. The combined energy is around 388-423 (moderate wave energy).
The Rest
After the 3rd, the swell drops right off. Friday, 4th September is back to tiny, poor conditions. We get a brief window of hope on the 11th and 12th of September with clean, offshore winds and a consistent 4ft WNW swell, with energies around 467-504 (moderate wave energy). Friday the 11th morning looks promising with a light offshore breeze and good conditions. This is a solid secondary option, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
All in all, the 3rd of September is the real prize. Get it in your diary.
Rusty.
