The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’re lookin’ at a long, quiet spell with barely a ripple. For the first ten days or so, there’s nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for – the swell is tiny, the wind is mostly messin’ it up, and the scores are flat. You’re better off waxin’ your board and waitin’.
The first real sign of life creeps in around Wednesday the 12th of August. We get a little pulse of energy – the combined energy hits 169 (moderate) – with a 3ft swell from the WSW, but it’s a short period at 10 seconds and the wind is a cross-on, so it’s gonna be choppy and messy. That’s just a teaser, not a goer. The energy builds a touch through Thursday the 13th, with a 4ft swell from the same direction, period still short at 10 seconds, and the same cross-on wind. Choppy, lumpy, not great.
Now, the best chance we get in the whole window is Monday the 17th of August in the morning. At Whitesand Bay, the wind finally swings offshore and clean – a cross-off from the NNE at 9 mph. The swell is 3ft from the WSW, period is a short 6 seconds, but the combined energy is 103 (moderate). The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – that’s the best we’ve got, folks. It’s nothin’ to write home about, but it’s the only clean window. The water is around 62°, about normal for this time of year.
After that, the wind turns onshore again and the swell drops off. The week of the 18th onward is a write-off – fresh breezes, lumpy seas, and small waves. The last day, Friday the 21st of August, we see a 3ft swell from the WSW but the wind is howlin’ at 19 mph from the NW, cross-on, and messy. Not worth it.
So to sum it up: if you’re desperate and can only get out on Monday the 17th in the morning, you’ll find some clean lines at Whitesand Bay, but keep your expectations low. The rest of the 16 days is a bust. It’s a quiet period for this spot – not unusual, but definitely a bummer.
Rusty.
