The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk surf.
We kick off on Monday the 14th at Sunset Beach Geraldron. There’s swell, but it’s a tough start. Waves are running 6 to 7 feet from the southwest, long-period groundswell around 14 to 15 seconds, with strong energy – we’re talking 1801 on Monday morning. But the wind is cross-off from the SSE at 12 mph, which keeps it cleanish, but not perfect. Water temp is 68°, right on average for this time of year.
Monday morning is the best early session – 7 feet, clean, cross-off wind. After that, Tuesday afternoon gets lumpy with a fresh cross-shore at 19 mph. Wednesday to Friday is a mess. Friday gets a strong onshore wind at 25 mph, rain, and messy chop – that’s kite-surfing territory. The swell stays big, but quality is poor.
Saturday the 19th morning offers a slight improvement – gentle cross-shore wind at 9 mph, 8 feet from the WSW, 15-second period. Still marginal, but rideable. Sunday the 20th morning is clean with a light SSE breeze at 3 mph, 5 feet southwest swell. Not bad, but not epic.
The standout is Wednesday the 23rd morning. Clean conditions, cross-off south wind at 9 mph, 6 feet southwest swell, 13-second period. Combined energy is 1550 – solid. This is the best session of the first week. Good shape, decent power, manageable size.
Thursday the 24th morning is clean with 6 feet and a 15-second period, but wind picks up to 12 mph. Friday the 25th gets lumpy again. Then Saturday the 27th – 12 feet from the southwest, 19-second period, combined energy over 10000. That’s way too big for most. Experts only, and even then, it’s a handful. Wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but the size is intimidating.
Sunday the 28th morning is glassy – light east wind at 3 mph, 5 feet, 14-second period. Clean, lined-up, and excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the last real highlight.
Best bets: Wednesday the 23rd morning for quality, and Sunday the 28th morning for glassy conditions. Crowds are sometimes a factor at Sunset Beach, so plan accordingly.
Rusty.
