The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, we’ve got a pretty grim run ahead. The finder is spitting out zero scores right through to the 26th of July. That’s a long stretch with nothing worth paddling out for. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a very unusual anomaly, the North Sea is running much warmer than normal, but it’s not doing us any favours for wave quality.
The first real sniff of anything comes on the morning of Sunday the 26th of July. Egmond aan Zee might just have a surfable wave, but it’s a weak 4ft swell from the southwest, with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is very low (56). The wind is a light cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but the wave quality is still described as very ordinary. It’s barely a pulse. The rest of the weekend and the following week are full of onshore chop and cross-shore junk, with tiny waves. The morning of the 27th of July has a clean offshore breeze from the ESE, but with only 2ft of swell from the southwest and a period of 6 seconds, it’s just not enough to get excited about. The energy is a measly 31.
Bottom line: There’s no standout period in this outlook. The only potentially clean windows are the 26th morning and the 27th morning, but the swell is too small and weak to do anything with. It’s a long, quiet spell. For this area, that’s not unusual, but it’s still a bummer. Keep an eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay this flat forever.
Rusty.
