The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for our stretch of coast.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and quiet. The swell energy is just not there. We’ve got a long stretch of days where the waves are barely a ripple, and the conditions are ordinary. The first real hint of anything rideable doesn’t show up until the morning of Monday, 10th August, and even then, it’s a messy, choppy 3ft swell from the WSW with a cross-onshore wind making a mess of it. The combined energy is moderate at 200, but it’s not the kind of day you’d rush for.
The only time we start to see something that might be worth a look is on the morning of Tuesday, 12th August. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the SW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a strong 247, and the wind is a light cross-shore from the NW, which is actually a decent sign for cleaner conditions. The water temperature is a very unusual 66°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the 5/4 at home. This is a short-period swell, so it’s a bit lumpy, but for a spot that’s inconsistent, this is your best bet. That Tuesday morning is the standout, but keep your expectations in check – it’s not going to be the session of the summer. The afternoon gets choppy again as the wind swings onshore.
Outside of that, there’s nothing else to get excited about. The rest of the window is flat, calm, or blown out. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the morning of the 12th is your only real option. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
