The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for our stretch of coast. We’ve got one break on the menu for the next couple of weeks, and I’ve got to be straight with you: it’s a bit of a mixed bag.
The whole forecast period is a pretty lean run. Most of the next two weeks are looking pretty ordinary, with lots of small, messy, or just downright poor conditions. You’ll be waiting a long time for anything truly worthwhile. There’s a solid gap of almost two weeks of low-quality surf before we finally see something worth getting excited about.
For a spot that’s known to be inconsistent, Whitsand Bay and Tregantle is living up to that reputation here. The water is sitting at a very unusual 66°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—a nice little surprise if you’re brave enough for the wait.
The one true standout is on Wednesday the 16th of September. For the morning session, we’ve got a solid 6ft groundswell rolling in from the W with a lovely long period of 11 seconds. That’s some proper energy pushing in, with the combined swell energy hitting a strong 967. The wind will be absolutely glassy, making for some clean, beautiful lines. This is the one to pencil in. It’s got the power for experienced surfers, but the clean conditions will make it a treat for anyone who can handle the size.
Before that, the only other flicker of hope is on Saturday the 5th of September morning. It’s tiny, only 2ft from the WSW, but the wind goes glassy and it’ll be clean. It’s surfable, but just very ordinary.
For the rest of the time, we’re looking at onshore winds, cross-chop, or just no swell to speak of. A lot of the time the wind is strong and onshore, which makes for pretty messy stuff, and the swell is too weak to care about.
So here’s the call: wait it out. The long wait looks to be worth it for that Wednesday the 16th morning session.
Rusty.
