The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the stretch ahead for Agate and Pearl Street. We’ve got a bit of a slow burner, so don’t expect much right away. The first week is pretty grim with small, short-period swell and onshore or cross-onshore winds messin’ things up. There’s a gap of about six days where the surf is just not worth paddling out for, with wave heights barely scraping 3 ft and most sessions getting a zero score. It’s a real quiet spell.
Then, come Saturday the 25th of July, things start to wake up. The swell picks up, and we finally see some proper energy. The Saturday morning session on the 25th is the clear standout for the whole period. You’re looking at a 6 ft swell from the SSW, with a long, clean 16-second period giving those waves some real grunt. The combined energy is a solid 2080, so there’s plenty of push. The wind is light from the SSW, which is a light cross-onshore, keepin’ it fairly clean. It’s a reef break, so that long period groundswell will wrap in nicely. With the swell size over 5 ft, it’s a bit much for beginners, but intermediates will have a ball. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no nasty surprises there. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so get in early.
The Saturday afternoon on the 25th holds up too, with a 6 ft SSW swell, still a 15-second period, and light winds. The energy is a bit lower at 1707, but still solid. Sunday the 26th morning is also worth a mention, with 5 ft from the SSW and a 13-second period, giving you 1201 energy. It’s a bit smaller, but still clean with that light wind. Beyond that, Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th offer some marginal, rideable waves, but nothing that’ll get the heart racing like that Saturday.
So, the call is clear: Saturday the 25th of July is your best bet. Get on it before it fades.
Rusty.
