The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it; the next couple of weeks are looking pretty darn flat and bumpy for the whole area. Don’t go getting your hopes up, because there’s a whole lot of nothing on the horizon.
For the next week, it’s all small, disorganized swell and onshore wind. The wave energy is just a whisper, with readings like 27 for Sunday. It’ll be a lumpy, wind-blown mess with waves barely reaching your knees. There is one little bump of longer-period swell from the WSW that shows up on Monday the 7th, with a moderate energy reading of 516, but the wind is all wrong again, turning it into a choppy, cross-shore joke. The same story repeats on Tuesday the 8th, with a bit more swell but the wind killing it before it ever gets good.
The middle of the week is more of the same. There's a tiny window on Wednesday the 16th where the wind drops to glassy and the ocean looks calm. There might be a little, rideable wave, but it's hardly worth the effort. The energy is weak at 86, so think of it as a good day to float around and enjoy the quiet. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, so it's not a total shock to the system, but it's still a wetsuit job.
Beyond that, it looks like a full-on desert. The swell completely dries up, and while the wind might finally swing offshore, there's nothing for it to blow on. It’s a flat spell that really tests your patience. For this stretch of coast, given the constant wind and lack of any real wave, the conditions look way more fun for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. Don't bother dragging your board down here for a while. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because things can always change, but for now, I’d find another hobby.
Rusty.
