The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here for the breakdown on our local stretch.
First thing — we’ve got some dead time coming. The first real surfable swell is still about a week away, so there’s a gap of about 5 days where you won’t miss much if you stay on land. The action kicks off around the 25th of August, but it’s nothing special until later.
The standout break is Yo Yo's-The Wedge. This one is a reef setup, and it's strictly for advanced and expert surfers — it’s not a place to learn. It’s very consistent and exposed to the swell, so when there's energy, it shows up. Expect the lineup to be often crowded. Water temp is around 79°F, which is normal for the season.
The real sweet spot hits on the morning of Wednesday the 26th of August. We’re looking at clean surf with a 6 ft SSW swell, period of 14 seconds, and moderate wave energy (1143). The wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the SE at around 9 mph, making for glassy, clean conditions. That’s the best session in the whole run — not too big, clean faces, and enough power to keep it fun for the experienced crew.
By Friday the 28th of August, the swell builds to 8 ft from the SW with a 17-second period and very strong wave energy (3902). That’s expert territory only. The wind stays light and cross-shore at 9 mph, so expect some slight texture but plenty of power. The long period means the Wedge will handle it well.
The morning of the 31st of August offers another clean window with 5 ft of SW swell and a very long 19-second period, carrying strong energy (1618). The light breeze at 6 mph from the SE might keep things glassy early.
After that, into the first week of September, the swell holds between 6 ft and 7 ft, but the wind picks up, making conditions less perfect. The tail end from the 5th to the 9th of September sees the swell drop off in size and energy, with more cross-shore wind.
So for the experienced surfer, lock in that Wednesday the 26th of August morning. The Friday the 28th is for the brave with big boards. Everything else is just waiting around.
Rusty.

Information about the Yo Yo's-The Wedge Surf forecast

A general guide to surfing at Yo Yo's-The Wedge can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
