The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here again, and I'm looking at the same stretch for you, but in feet. So, we’ve got Agate and Pearl Street, a reef break here that’s pretty consistent and open to the west swell. This spot is for intermediate surfers.
We start off on Sunday, July 26th, with a small, long-period groundswell out of the SSW at about 3ft and a period stretching to 19 seconds. There's some moderate energy (725), but wind is a light cross-onshore breeze. It's marginal, with small wind ripples spoiling it. Not worth paddling out for.
Monday the 27th, the swell inches up a bit to around 4ft, still with a long period from the SW. The wind stays a light cross-onshore. The energy is a bit higher (781), but it's still borderline. The conditions are just not clean.
Tuesday the 28th, the swell stays at about 4ft, but the wind picks up to a stronger cross-shore 9 mph, bringing some chop into the mix. The quality drops.
Wednesday the 29th, the energy drops (426), and the swell is back to 3ft. It’s still marginal with a 16-second period and cross-onshore wind.
From Thursday the 30th through Saturday the 1st of August, the swell builds a little, hitting around 5-5ft from the S and SSW. The energy is moderate, in the 800s, with periods dropping to 12-15 seconds. But the wind stays light and cross-onshore or onshore. It’s the most size we’ll see, but the onshore wind keeps the waves messy.
After Saturday afternoon, the swell just dies. From Sunday, August 2nd, right through to Monday, August 10th, it's flat and weak. You're looking at 1ft to 3ft waves with poor conditions. The energy drops into double digits or low triple digits (71 to 423), so it's weak.
There's a tiny pulse around August 7th and 8th with a very long-period, 19-second swell coming in at 2-3ft, but the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore, so it's not doing us any favors.
To be honest, the best wave quality isn't there. There are no standouts in this outlook. The wind is almost always a problem, and the swell is either too small or too messy. It's one of those quiet spells where the forecasts are pointing to a flat run.
