The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Well, it's a pretty grim run for the next fortnight, if I'm being honest. We're looking at a long, dry patch of poor surf, so don't get your hopes up. There's a glimmer of something in the first week of August, but it's a short-lived window that demands a bit of patience.
The first real chance of a wave that's worth paddling out for hits on Monday, August 3rd at Ann Street Peaks. The swell picks up to 5.0ft from the east, with a short 8 second period, giving a moderate wave energy of 294. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the southwest, which will keep things clean. This is the standout of the entire forecast – it's the only time we see a clean wave with a bit of punch. It's not a classic, but it's the best we've got. The water is 67.3°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.
Before that, from now right through until the end of July, it's a write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is either onshore or cross-shore, and the energy is barely a whisper. The best of a bad lot is the glassy Wednesday morning with 1.6ft, but it's just too small to ride.
After Monday the 3rd, the quality drops off fast. Tuesday morning the 4th sees a drop to 3.3ft, but it's glassy, so you could get a few grovelly ones on a longboard. Then it's back to the doldrums for the rest of the second week into August, with tiny, weak, and messy surf. There's a moment on the 7th with clean 2.0ft, but again, it's barely a ripple.
So, to sum it up: if you're desperate, you've got Monday August 3rd. The break is fairly consistent, but crowds are possible at Ann Street Peaks. The east swell is straight on, but the wind window is the key. After that, hang the board up for a while, mate. It's a long stretch of nothing.
