G’day, Rusty here. I’ll level with you—this Agate and Pearl Street stretch is looking pretty bleak for the next couple of weeks. A long stretch of poor surf, and the only real glimmer comes in the second week. Water temp’s about 67°F, right around average for July, so at least that’s not a bother.
Starting Monday morning the 6th of July, we’ve got a 2ft SSW swell with a very long 16-second period, but the wind’s light and onshore, making it a mess. Combined energy is 429 (moderate), but it’s called poor surf. Monday afternoon’s even worse—cross-on wind at 12 mph, choppy, and only 2ft. Not worth it.
Tuesday the 7th shows a bit more size at 3ft from the SSW, period stretching to a very long 18 seconds, and combined energy up to 726 (moderate). But again, cross-on morning wind and onshore afternoon wind, so it’s marginal due to tide.
Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th are repeats—3ft to 3ft SSW swell, 16-second period, combined energy in the 500-660 range (moderate), but every session has cross-on or cross-shore wind leaving the surface messy. Thursday afternoon’s cross-shore breeze keeps it a little cleaner, but still only marginal.
The rest of the first week and into the second is a washout. Friday the 10th, Saturday the 11th, Sunday the 12th—all poor or marginal, swell dropping to 3ft-3ft. There’s one bright spot on Sunday afternoon the 12th: the wind goes glassy, with a 3ft SSW swell at 14 seconds and combined energy of 304 (moderate). The report says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s your best chance across the whole two weeks—a short, clean window. If you’re keen, hit it then.
From Monday the 13th through the end on Tuesday the 21st of July, the swell bounces between 1.0ft and 3ft, mostly SSW or SW, with periods from 12 to 19 seconds. Combined energy often drops below 300 (weak), and winds are almost always onshore or cross-on. There’s a little bump on Saturday morning the 18th of July with 2ft SW swell at 17 seconds and combined energy of 423 (moderate), but onshore wind kills it. Nothing else gets good.
So here’s the story: this spot is dead quiet. The standout is that glassy Sunday afternoon the 12th—small but clean. Everything else is a fight with wind and chop. Beginners won’t see swell over 5ft, so that’s fine, but conditions are too ugly. Experts won’t find any size worth the drive. Keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, it’s a long dry spell.
Rusty.
