Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer over the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it's a pretty bleak picture across the board. The whole 16-day window is looking like a write-off for any proper surf out at Aberystwyth harbour trap. There's a real gap here from the get-go, with nothing worth getting wet for until we get right to the very end.
The water temperature is sitting at 64°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than what's normal for this time of year. That's a weird one, feels more like a bath than the Irish Sea.
Kicking off on the 2nd of July, Thursday afternoon, we've got a tiny 2 ft swell from the WSW, with a weak period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is barely a whisper at 43, and we've got a 12 mph onshore wind. That's a no-go. Friday the 3rd is even worse, with the swell dropping to 0.7 ft on the morning and a messy cross-onshore breeze.
Saturday the 4th sees a slight bump to 3 ft from the WSW, but the period is a short 5 seconds and the cross-onshore wind is up to 16 mph. The energy is only 30. It's all just poor surf conditions. This poor pattern just keeps rolling on day after day. We get a bit of glassy conditions on the 8th, but there's only 0.3 ft of swell, so it's a flat, pretty lake.
From the 9th through to the 13th of July, the swell just completely vanishes. The offshore winds look clean, but there's literally no waves to surf. It's a solid few days of dead flat water.
We finally see a tiny pulse on the afternoon of the 17th of July, a Friday. The wave height picks up to 4 ft from the WSW, with a short 5-second period. The energy cracks up to 72, which is still weak. The wind is a light cross-onshore. It's the biggest we've seen in the whole forecast, but the quality is still marked as poor. If you are absolutely desperate for a splash, that's the only window, but don't expect much more than a bumpy knee-high mess.
