The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's goin' on at Westport, the Groins.
The water's about 60°, which is dead average for this time of year, so don't expect any surprises.
Right now, we're in a dry spell. The next week looks pretty quiet. The first real chance to get wet is on the morning of Saturday, September 5th. We've got a moderate offshore wind from the south at 16 mph, cleaning up a 3 ft swell from the southwest. The energy is decent at 584. It's a long-period groundswell, around 17 seconds, so the sets will be a little spaced out, but the waves should have some good shape. The Groins is a sheltered beach/jetty spot, so that long-period swell should work out fine. It's a beginner-friendly spot, but with the energy and the offshore wind, it'll be a clean, fun session. Just remember, it can get crowded sometimes.
The real standout of the whole outlook is Sunday, September 6th. The morning is looking the best. We've got a light offshore breeze from the SSE at 6 mph, with the swell picking up to 5 ft from the west. The energy is pumping at 689. That's a solid, clean wave, and with the light wind, it's gonna be glassy. It's a bit bigger, so the more experienced surfers will be happy, but it's still good for a confident beginner. The afternoon holds up too, with a 5 ft swell from the WNW and a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping things clean. Monday the 7th of September morning is also a nice little bonus, with glassy conditions and 3 ft of swell, but the energy drops off. It's a nice way to end the run.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a bust. The good stuff starts on the 5th of September, but the Sunday the 6th is the day you want to be in the water. Get out there for that morning glass.
Rusty.
