The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's cut through the noise on this one.
For the bulk of the next 16 days, A-Bay is going to be a total ghost town. We're looking at a dead flat spell from the 21st of July all the way through the 29th. That's a solid week-plus of nothing. The water's sitting at about 80°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so it's not that – it's just that there's no swell to speak of.
We have a tiny window right at the start. Sunday the 19th, there's a little 1ft swell from the WNW with a long 12-second period. The swell energy is weak (71), so it's a poor surf call. The wind is a light cross-shore from the N, so there's a little ripple on it. Monday the 20th is even smaller, dropping to 1ft. It's not worth getting wet for.
The only real highlight, and it's a long way out, is on Thursday the 30th of July. We finally get a 1ft pulse, but it's a long-period groundswell from the SW with an 18-second period. The energy is still weak (49), but that long period might give it a little bit of shape. The key is that by Thursday afternoon, the wind goes glassy. If you have a longboard and you just want to cruise on some tiny, clean lines, that's your moment. It's a slim pickin's kind of call, but it's the only one.
The rest of the run is a wash. The 31st brings a tiny 1ft from the N with a short 7-second period, which is just junk. The 1st and 2nd of August have a touch more size (2ft) and a bit more energy (84), but it's coming from the W with a cross-onshore wind, so it's messy. For the whole period, this is a kite-surfing setup more than a paddle-surfing one.
Rusty out.
