The Lowdown

Alright fellas, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

It’s a slow burner, but there are a couple of sessions that are gonna be worth the wait. For the most part, we’re looking at small, clean waves, with a couple of real highlights that are a must-surf.

The first few days are a bit of a struggle. Thursday morning starts off with a tiny 2ft SSW swell, but the cross-on wind is mucking it up. It’s bumpy and weak, with energy around 309. Thursday afternoon isn’t much better, a little bigger at 2ft, but the wind is side-shore and choppy. Friday stays small at 3ft from the SSW with a moderate cross-on in the morning, but the afternoon cleans up with a light cross-off wind. It’s okay, nothing to write home about.

Saturday, August 8th, is where we get a little taste. The swell is a touch over 4ft from the SSW, with a 16-second period. The big win is the wind: glassy. It’s going to be a mirror out there, and the energy is moderate (670). This is a solid window for some fun, clean waves. The afternoon holds up too, with a clean 3ft SSW swell.

Sunday through Tuesday is a bit of a wash. The wind gets messy, the swell drops, and the energy is scattered. The forecasts are calling it poor, so I’d give it a miss.

The crown jewel of the whole forecast is Thursday, August 13th. The afternoon session is the one. We’re looking at a 2ft swell from the SW, but the real story is the 20-second period. That’s a deep water groundswell with a ton of power. The wind is offshore from the NNW, making it clean and lined up. The energy is strong (796). This is a session for a point break or a reef. That long period is going to make the waves suck up and wrap, but it might be a little too straight for the beach breaks. For Zippers-Costa Azul, a beach and reef mix, this could be perfect.

The second big one is Friday, August 14th. The swell jumps to 5ft to 5ft from the SW, with a solid 17-18 second period. The energy is very strong (1343-1402). The morning is a bit light on the wind, but the afternoon sees a clean, cross-off breeze from the west. This is for the experienced surfers only. That size and period will be a handful, but it’s a quality wave.

The following week starts to mellow out. Saturday, August 15th, and Sunday, August 16th, hold moderate energy (1086-535) but the swell drops to 4ft. The wind is clean for the afternoons, so expect some fun, smaller waves.
Then, Monday, August 17th, is a nice surprise. The morning is dead calm with a glassy 3ft SSW swell. It’s a perfect little session for a quiet start to the week.

The final few days, from Tuesday to Friday, August 21st, look small and inconsistent. The last highlight is another absolute ripper on Friday, August 21st morning. The wind is glassy, and we have a 4ft SSW swell with a 15-second period. The energy is moderate (525). That’s a proper, clean morning session to end the outlook.

The takeaway: Circle the afternoon of August 13th and the afternoon of August 14th. The 13th is a gem for the long-period, clean, offshore glass. The 14th is bigger and more powerful for the experienced crew. The rest is small and clean, with a few good mornings sprinkled in.

Rusty.
