The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down this 16-day outlook for A-Bay. I’m calling it like I see it, and it’s a dry spell, folks. From now, starting Monday, July 27th, there’s a big gap of no-go surf. We’re talking days of no swell, poor conditions, and winds that are doing you no favors.
The first real chance to get wet is Thursday, July 30th. There’s a tiny 1-foot groundswell from the SW, with a very long period of 18 seconds, but the wave energy is a super weak 49 – just a whisper. The wind goes glassy in the afternoon, so it’ll be as clean as a whistle, but there’s no power behind it. Water temp is about 80°F, which is normal for this time of year.
We see a few more glassy afternoons on August 1st and 2nd, but the swell is still a tiny 0.6 to 1 foot. It’s a tease.
The only thing that gets close to a “session” is Saturday, August 8th. The morning brings a 2-foot swell from the west, with a period of 13 seconds. The wave energy hits 100, which is the bare minimum for anything to happen. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’ll be a little bumpy, but the afternoon goes glassy. The report says it’s “surfable but very ordinary,” and that’s the truth. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but for a beginner, it might be a fun little knee-high day. After that, the window closes back up.
This is just a quiet period for the area. No standouts, no real swell. Don’t force it.
