The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a pretty long stretch of nothing special at Westport-The Groins. The swell is around, but the wind is a mess for most of it. Get ready for a lot of wait-and-see.
Right off the bat, we’re in a bit of a hole. Thursday the 30th through Sunday the 2nd is a write-off. The wind is cross-onshore, mostly from the WNW and NW, and it’s creating choppy, lumpy, poor surf. The swell is there, with a combined energy reading between 206 and 392 (moderate), but it’s not doing us any favors with the wind. The water temp on the 30th is 60°, which is about average for the time of year.
We finally get a little window on Monday the 3rd. The morning at Westport-The Groins is glassy, wind is calm from the WSW at 0 mph. The swell is a weak 4 ft from the west, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is 232 (moderate), but the conditions are "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It’s the only glassy moment in the whole forecast, but with that short period, it’s going to be a bit soft and mushy. It’s the best option for a beginner because it’s so small, but it’s far from a standout.
After that, we’re back into rough stuff. From Tuesday the 4th through Thursday the 6th, the wind is a constant cross-onshore or cross-shore, and the swell gets a bit bigger, up to 6 ft on Wednesday the 5th (combined energy of 581 – strong). But that’s just a bigger, choppier mess. It’s not for paddling.
Then, things get interesting for the second week. Friday the 7th morning through Sunday the 9th morning, we get a run of cleaner conditions. The wind switches to a light cross-offshore from the SW and WSW. The swell is around 5 ft to 6 ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is strong (429 to 607). This is the best window of the whole outlook. The setup is a beach/jetty, so it’s not the ideal spot for a long-period groundswell, but that 9-second period is solid. The Saturday the 8th morning and Sunday the 9th morning are both rated with "expect good surf conditions". This is the true standout. The water temperature anomaly is normal, so no surprises there.
The rest of the 9th and into the 10th and 11th, the wind gets messy again. There’s a little spike on the 12th with a 5 ft swell from the WNW and a combined energy of 671 (strong), but the wind is cross-shore, making it a marginal call. The 13th and 14th drop back to small, clean but weak swell with strong cross-onshore winds, so it’s back to clean but choppy.
So, the standout is the window from Friday the 7th morning through Sunday the 9th morning. Early sessions, especially Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th, with that light cross-offshore wind and a solid 5-6 ft WSW groundswell. It’s a good size for a confident intermediate, and the jetty can offer some shape. Expect crowds to be possible here, as it's the only clean run we’ve got.
Rusty.
