The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty bleak stretch for the most part. We've got a solid pulse of swell coming in early on, but the wind is just going to ruin it. The first real chance of a wave doesn't come until the 23rd of July, and even then it's a bit of a question mark.
Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st see a big, powerful swell from the ESE hitting Ann Street Peaks. We're talking a solid 12 ft dropping to 8 ft, with a huge amount of energy behind it (2725 on Monday morning). But the wind is a shocking cross-on from the SE, 15-22 mph, making it an absolute mess. It's big, but it's lumpy, choppy, and blown out. Not worth a paddle.
The swell drops through Wednesday the 22nd but the wind is still cross-on, so it's still a write-off.
Thursday the 23rd of July is our first real window. The swell drops to a clean 4 ft from the East, with a short period of 8 seconds. The morning is going glassy, with a light SSW breeze of just 3 mph. That's a major positive. The wave energy is moderate (205). It's not going to be epic, but it'll be the cleanest surf we've seen all week. Keep your expectations low on the size, but the conditions will be right.
Friday the 24th is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning is small and cross-shore, but the afternoon sees a jump in swell to 6 ft from the SE. However, the wind swings back to a nasty cross-on, so it's back to choppy conditions.
The rest of the month and into the first few days of August is a real struggle. From Saturday the 25th of July right through to Sunday the 3rd of August, there's a long gap of tiny, weak, or poorly wind-affected surf. Most days are under 3 ft, and the wind is nearly always onshore or cross-shore. It's a real drought.
The only other glimmer is Monday the 3rd of August. Swell picks back up to 5 ft from the SSE, with a period of 6 seconds. The wind goes glassy again in the morning with a light NNE breeze, so it'll be clean. But the energy is still moderate (196), and the period is short, so don't expect a lot of push. It's a surfable option, but nothing to get too excited about.
The standout is the Thursday the 23rd of July morning session at Ann Street Peaks. The glassy conditions will make the most of that 4 ft ESE swell. It's the only time in the whole forecast where the wind truly cooperates for a decent clean wave. Go for a dawny.
Rusty out.
