Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s cookin’ for Annascaul Rivermouth over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with ya – this is a tough one. This spot is sheltered, and it's a river mouth, so it needs the stars to align. The forecast is a long, flat run with very little to get excited about.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. But the swell… man, it’s a ghost town after a brief window.
Right out of the gate, Wednesday morning the 8th of July is the only real shout. We’ve got some lumpy 5ft swell coming from the WNW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (377). The wind is glassy, which is a huge positive – it'll be clean on the surface. It’s a surfable wave, but the conditions are just ordinary. It’s really the only show in town.
From Wednesday afternoon onwards, it’s a long, sad story. The wind swings around, the swell drops off a cliff, and we get stuck with tiny, weak waves for days. Thursday the 9th sees a bump to 5ft, but the wind is cross and cross-on, making a mess of things. Then Friday the 10th through to the 23rd of July is a brutal stretch of mostly knee-to-ankle high slop, if anything at all. Swell heights hover around 0.3ft to 2ft, and the combined energy is weak, often in the double digits or barely over 100. There are some nice offshore winds in there, like Saturday the 11th and Monday the 13th, but with only 0.3ft to 1.0ft of swell, it’s not worth paddling out for.
Even though the wind looks clean for most of the second week, there’s just no power behind it. The period is all over the place, from short 8-second windswell to very long 19 and 21-second groundswell, but the height is too small to do anything with. When the period is that long on a river mouth that straight, it just won’t wrap in.
So, to put it bluntly: we’ve got one mediocre morning on the 8th of July, and then a gap of over two weeks with seriously poor surf. The wind is mostly clean, but it’s a classic case of "all wind, no swell." For a spot that is usually pretty consistent, this is a rough run. Sometimes the ocean just says "not today."
Rusty.
