The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Westport over the next couple of weeks.
To be brutally honest, the first ten days or so are a proper write-off. We’re talking from now through until at least the middle of the month, the conditions are just grim. There’s a bit of swell around, but the wind is a constant problem, mostly from the NW, cross-on or cross, and it’s just chopping everything up. You’ll see a few small windows, like Thursday morning the 6th with a 4ft WNW swell and a light cross-off wind, but it’s messy and the energy is weak (205). Friday morning the 7th is similar with 3ft and a clean look, but it’s still just ordinary. Honestly, none of it is worth paddling out for.
The real story here comes later. There’s a long gap of poor surf, but then we get a proper standout on Tuesday the 18th. The morning of the 18th is the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a solid 5ft swell from the WNW, but the kicker is a clean, offshore S wind at 16 mph. The combined energy is strong at 722, and it’s a 12-second period groundswell, which means proper shape and power. This is a jetty setup, so that longer period should wrap in nicely. The water is running about 64°F and is much warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a nice bonus. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon of the 19th also looks promising with a 5ft W swell, a 13-second period, and a clean offshore S wind at 12 mph. The energy is very strong at 811. That’s a solid session too.
The Groins Westport (Westport-The Groins) is a fairly consistent spot, but it’s also sheltered and can get a bit of a crowd. Given the quality of that Tuesday morning, expect it to be busy. For the most part, this is a waiting game. The first week and a half is a bust, so don’t bother. Hold out for the 18th and 19th.
