The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here, with a look at what's coming up for Westport-The Groins. We've got a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, with a few windows that are worth paddling out for.
The first real chance to get wet rolls in on Thursday the 3rd of September. After a couple of days of small, ordinary waves, we’re looking at a solid 6ft swell from the west, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a nice bit of groundswell pushing in, and the combined energy is strong at 1108. The wind is a gentle breeze from the ESE, keeping it clean. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 63°.
Thursday afternoon will still be fun, with the swell dropping slightly to 5ft and the wind going almost glassy with a slight air from the ESE. The swell drops off a bit into Friday morning with 3ft waves, but it stays clean. The real standout, though, is the morning of Thursday the 3rd. That’s your best bet for the week.
We hit a bit of a lull after that. Friday afternoon kicks off a long stretch of small, messy, and mostly onshore conditions. For a few days there, from the 5th through to the 9th, the swell is tiny and the wind is mostly cross-onshore, making it a write-off. There’s a glassy moment on Sunday the 6th morning, but the swell is only 2ft, so it’s barely worth the effort.
Now, the long-range stuff gets interesting. The morning of Friday the 11th of September is shaping up to be a cracker. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 11 seconds. The wind is a glassy slight air from the ESE. The combined energy is a solid 846. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The swell is a bit chunky for beginners, but it’s going to be clean and lined up. The afternoon sees the wind swing around and chop it up, so it’s a morning mission.
There’s also a pulse on Thursday the 10th, with a 7ft swell in the afternoon, but the 10 mph cross-onshore wind makes it messy and marginal. The 6ft swell on the 11th is the better option. The very end of the run, on Wednesday the 16th, shows a 5ft swell, but with onshore winds, it’s not looking great.
Overall, the forecast is a bit of a waiting game. The standout is the morning of Friday the 11th of September. The Thursday the 3rd is a solid backup. The rest is mostly small and choppy.
Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Westport-The Groins may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
