The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on offer for the local region. We'll be focusing on Agate and Pearl Street, a reef break that's fairly consistent and works best with a west swell.
Right now it's a bit of a slow start. We’ve got a stretch of weak, poor-quality surf from today through to the end of next week. The combined swell energy is low, so there's not much to get excited about. Winds are mostly cross-on or onshore, making for choppy conditions. It's a bit of a waiting game.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Saturday, July 19th, but even then it's only marginal. We start seeing a bit more energy in the water around Monday the 21st, with a long-period swell from the SSW and clean, glassy conditions forecast for Sunday the 26th. That afternoon session on the 26th looks like the standout: glassy conditions, a 2-foot swell from the SSW with a very long 19-second period, and solid energy in the water. That is your go-to window for a clean, lined-up wave. But remember, that second-week stuff is promising, not locked in.
For the highlighted window on Sunday the 26th, you’re looking at a very long-period groundswell, which will offer up good shape and power at this reef break. The swell is small, at around 2 feet, but the long period means lines will be clean and defined. It's a reef, so that long-period energy will wrap in nicely. It's only a decent spot overall, so manage your expectations.
Due to the overall inconsistency and the fact that so much of the forecast is marginal, gear up for a lot of flat days. But with that glassy Sunday afternoon on the horizon, it's not all doom and gloom.
