The Lowdown
Rusty here, lookin' at Ann Street Peaks.
Got to be honest, it's a slow start. The water's runnin' a bit chilly at 20°, a notch colder than usual for this time of year. The surf is tiny, the swell is short, and the wind is just not on our side for a while.
Sunday the 26th kicks off with a measly 2ft easterly swell, but a light cross-breeze is enough to spoil it. Monday and Tuesday drop even smaller, down to 1ft and below. That's a dry stretch right through the early part of the week.
Here's the first flicker of hope. Wednesday morning the 29th, the wind goes glassy. Swell is still small at 2ft from the east, and the period is short at 6 seconds, so it won't be firing. But with the water like glass, you might snag a little fun one if you're patient. The energy is weak at 53, so don't expect much grunt.
The rest of the week into the weekend stays poor. Thursday the 30th sees the swell bump up to 4ft in the afternoon, but it's from the southeast with a moderate cross-onshore breeze, turning it choppy. Friday and Saturday bring more size, up to 5ft and 5ft, but the wind is still messy with a short 6-second period. The energy jumps to 215 and 170, so there's power, but it's sloppy – more of a kite surf scene than a paddle day.
Sunday the 2nd of August has a combined energy reading of 329 with 4ft swell, but the period stays short and the wind is crossy. Not a clean wave in sight.
Monday the 3rd of August is marginal in the morning – 4ft from the east with a gentle cross-shore. It's the best of a bad bunch, but that's not sayin' much.
Into the second week, it fades again. Thursday the 6th of August gives us another glassy morning with 4ft from the southeast, but the period is only 6 seconds. The energy is moderate at 147, and it's rideable but nothing to write home about.
The rest of the 16-day window dribbles away with tiny waves and onshore wind. The last day, Monday the 10th of August, shows a longer period pulse of 12 seconds with 3ft, but the cross-onshore breeze will make it tricky.
If I'm picking a moment, it's Wednesday the 29th for that glassy window, and maybe Thursday the 6th of August for another calm spell. Neither is a standout – just the least ugly of a quiet stretch.
Keep an eye on it, forecasts can change.
Rusty.
