The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it.
We've got a consistent run of southwest swell lining up for Sunset Beach Geraldron, but it's a bit of a mixed bag for quality. The first few days from Sunday the 30th through the start of the week are on the table, but they're not going to be your best bet. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, stirring things up and making it a bit sloppy. The swell is there, hanging around 6ft to 7ft from the SW with a solid, long period of 16 to 18 seconds – that's proper groundswell, but it's not being polished by the wind.
The real standout starts to show on Thursday morning, September 3rd. The wind goes glassy, and we've got a clean 6ft SW swell with a 13-second period. The combined energy is moderate, but the conditions are pristine. That is the session to circle. It's a beginner-friendly setup, but the glassy conditions will make it a joy for anyone. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The following week, from Monday the 7th of September, things get a bit more serious. The swell builds. Monday morning the 7th sees a solid 10ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the ENE. The combined energy is strong. That's a big, powerful setup. For experienced surfers, this is special. For beginners, it's a definite no-go. The 14th of September looks like a serious session for experts only, with a 12ft SW swell and a 17-second period, but the wind is cross-shore, so it won't be as clean.
There are a few other good-looking windows. Saturday the 12th of September has a solid 8ft SW swell in the afternoon, and the wind is clean cross-off. The combined energy jumps to very strong, so there's plenty of punch. And the glassy morning on Thursday the 10th of September, with a 6ft SW swell, is another clean option.
Overall, the best bet for the best all-round conditions is the glassy morning of the 3rd of September. The swell is solid, the conditions are perfect, and it's a great wave for everyone. For the experienced crew, the morning of the 7th is the real standout for size and power, but that 14th is a beast.
Rusty, signing off.
