The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up.
First up, we’re looking at Agate and Pearl Street. The water is sitting at 71°F, which is a solid 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s really noticeable, so you’re in for a pleasant paddle.
The outlook kicks off with a long stretch of marginal conditions. From Friday the 24th of July all the way through to Thursday the 30th, we’re looking at small, weak surf. The swell is mostly hanging around 2ft to 4ft from the SW or SSW, with periods between 15 and 24 seconds. That long period is a groundswell, which will give you some push, but the wind is consistently cross or cross-onshore, keeping things a bit bumpy and messy. The combined swell energy is moderate, peaking around 863 on the 28th, but it’s just not clean enough to get excited about. This stretch is best for the die-hards who just want to get wet.
Then, on Friday the 31st of July, things get interesting. The afternoon sees a jump in swell size to 6ft from the S, with a period of 14 seconds, and the combined energy rockets up to 1121 – that’s strong energy. The wind is light and onshore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but there’s definitely some power in the water. This carries into Saturday the 1st of August, with morning swell still at 6ft from the S, period 13 seconds, and energy at 1032. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect, but this is the best run of the forecast. The swell is about 6ft, which is a bit big for beginners, but intermediate surfers will find some fun ones.
After that, the surf drops off quickly. Sunday the 2nd of August sees it fading to 4ft, and from Monday the 3rd right through to Saturday the 8th of August, it’s a real drought. The swell is tiny – 1ft to 2ft - with weak energy (mostly under 250) and onshore winds. Honestly, it’s a pretty blank run to end the 16-day window. For this area, that’s not unusual; the forecasts can change, but right now, the board is staying on the sand.
The standout here is the window on Friday the 31st of July afternoon and Saturday the 1st of August morning. If you have to pick one, go for Saturday morning. The swell is 6ft from the S, with moderate energy, and while the wind is a touch cross-on, it’s light. It’s the best quality on offer, and the crowds at Agate and Pearl Street are *sometimes* a thing, so you might get a few others out there. It’s not a world-class session, but it's the only one worth chasing.
Rusty.
