The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Looking at the forecast for Agate and Pearl Street. The water is running about 72°F, which is a solid 5°F warmer than usual – that’s a real treat.
The next 16 days have a few little windows, but it’s not a classic summer run. The best of it is in the first week. The standout is Tuesday the 28th. That morning, we’ve got a 4ft SSW groundswell with a long 17-second period, and the combined energy is at 771 – that’s moderate, but it’s got some push. It’s a reef break, so the long period will give you some nice, lined-up waves. The wind is a cross-on at 9 mph, which is okay, not perfect. The afternoon cleans up a little, wind drops to 6 mph, swell holds at 3ft, and the energy bumps up to 787. It’s still cross-on, but it’s the best of a pretty average bunch.
The next day, Wednesday the 29th, is a step down. The morning swell is only 3ft, same 16-second period, but the energy is down to 425 and the wind is still cross-on. Not worth the paddle.
Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st are actually the best bet. The swell picks up to 4ft from the S, with a 13-14 second period, and the wind goes onshore in the mornings. That’s a clean wind for a reef. The morning of Friday the 31st with the 4ft S swell, 14-second period, and offshore wind is the solid pick of the whole outlook. Energy is in the 600-700 range, so there’s some grunt. It’ll be clean and have good shape.
After the first weekend of August, the plug gets pulled. From Sunday the 2nd, it’s tiny, weak swells – mostly 1ft to 2ft, with energy numbers dropping below 200. There’s a weird pulse on the 7th with a 1ft, 19-second period swell, but that’s a very long period for a tiny wave, and it’s cross-on. That’s a long wait for a maybe. The whole second week looks more like a kiteboarding session than a surf session.
So, for the best surf: make the early morning on Friday the 31st of July your target. Thursday the 30th is also decent. The rest is a wash.
Rusty.
