Agate and Pearl Street Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cookin' for Agate and Pearl Street.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a bit of a struggle. We're looking at a long stretch of small, often messy surf. The first real glimmer of anything decent doesn't show up until early next week.

For Thursday morning, the 2nd of July, we’ve got a tiny 2ft SSW groundswell with a long 16-second period pushing in. The combined energy is weak (271), and it's barely making the cut. The water's a touch warmer than normal at 67°, which is a nice bonus for this time of year.

Friday and the weekend are pretty much a write-off. Swell stays between 2ft and 3ft, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. It's small, it's choppy, and it's not worth paddling out for. There's a solid gap of several days with nothing to recommend.

Now, we finally get a pulse of energy rolling in on Tuesday morning, the 7th of July. The swell bumps up to a cleaner 3ft from the SSW with that lovely 18-second period. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 668, which is the best we'll see all week. The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it won't be glassy, but it'll be rideable. This is the standout window for the whole forecast.

The following Wednesday and Thursday also have some half-decent 3ft to 3ft SSW swell with light cross-onshore winds, offering a few more chances to get wet, but the energy isn't quite as strong as that Tuesday morning peak.

After that, it all fades away again. The second week is a real letdown with swell dropping back to 1ft to 2ft and onshore winds making a mess of things. Even the very long-period pulses in the later days don't have enough size to do anything worthwhile at this reef setup.

So, if you're keen, keep an eye on Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th of July. That's your best bet for the whole 16-day outlook. The rest of the time? Leave the board in the car and save your energy.

Rusty.
