The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. It’s time to look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks. At first glance, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a consistent run of swell, but the wind is going to be a real pain for most of the time. The call is to be patient and pick you moments.

The first real chance to get wet looks like Sunday the 13th of September. After a run of choppy, cross-shore junk, we finally get a proper offshore wind from the East at just 6 mph. The swell is a clean 4.6 ft from the NNW, with a period of 7 seconds. The energy is moderate, sitting at 472. It’s not the biggest swell, but that light offshore breeze will make for some clean lines. This is our first standout. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The next morning, Monday the 14th, is a standout if you’re an experienced surfer, but a big warning for beginners. The swell jumps up to 7.2 ft from the NNW. That’s a solid, powerful wave, and with a period of 8 seconds, it’s going to be walling up. The wind is completely glassy, with a 3 mph southerly breeze. It’s going to look perfect. But, and this is a big but, 7.2 ft is going to be a big, heavy wave for a beach break. This is expert territory. The energy is moderate to strong at 628. If you’re not confident, give this one a wide berth.

After that, the wind turns messy again, but we get another window of opportunity on Wednesday the 16th. The morning glass-off is back, with a 3 mph westerly wind and 6.2 ft of NW swell at 8 seconds. The energy is at 484 and the word is “glassy.” This is a much more manageable size than Monday, and the conditions will be clean. It’s probably the best balance of power and quality for the average surfer.

Looking further out, the pattern of onshore afternoons continues, but the mornings are the key. On Friday the 18th, we get a total glass-off with zero wind. The swell is a bit smaller, at 4.2 ft from the NNW, with a 9-second period. The energy is moderate at 279. It’s not going to be pumping, but it will be a fun, clean morning session. This is a promising but less certain call this far out.

The biggest issue is the wind. The afternoons are almost universally blown out from the NW or NNW. For the most part, the mornings are your only chance. After the 14th, there’s a gap of poor surf until the 16th, with only marginal conditions in between. The standouts are the 13th, the 14th (for experts only), and the 16th. Pick your morning, and you’ll get a wave.
