The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a rough run. The whole 16-day window is a washout for decent waves. We’re lookin’ at a solid gap of almost two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until the very end of the period.
The problem is we’ve got no decent swell and the wind is almost always working against us. For days and days, it’s all cross-onshore wind, keeping the water choppy and messy. The swell height barely gets above 3 feet, and when it does, like on July 22nd (Wednesday) morning, it’s a weak, short-period 4 ft swell from the North with a period of just 5 seconds. The combined energy of all swells is only 69 (moderate energy), but it’s blown out by a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore wind. That’s not surf, that’s a washing machine.
The water temp at Abereiddy is sitting at 62°, which is about average for this time of year, so that’s not the issue.
We get a few tiny glimpses of something better right at the tail end. Let’s jump to July 29th (Wednesday) morning. The wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 1 ft. It’s a tease. Then on August 2nd (Sunday) afternoon, we finally see a bit of hope. The wind turns cross-offshore and clean, and the swell picks up to 2 ft from the WSW with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is 18 (weak energy). It’s small, but it might be the cleanest little wave of the whole run.
If you’re desperate, August 2nd is your best bet. Abereiddy is a beginner-friendly spot, and with that clean wind, the tiny 2 ft swell from the WSW might just be rideable for a longboard. It’s not a standout; it’s just the best of a bad lot.
Stick with it, lads. Forecasts change.
Rusty.
