The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving it to you in the old numbers.
Don’t get your hopes up for a while. We’ve got a long stretch of nearly eight days with nothing worth talking about, so leave the board in the car until the end of July.
The one session you need to save is Monday morning, August 3rd. The swell is a modest 2ft from the SE, but the period is a juicy 13 seconds – that’s real groundswell. The combined energy of all swells directed here hits a solid 387, which is a major jump from the weak numbers we’ve been seeing. The water is 65°, which is about normal for this time of year. The best part? The wind is dead calm, glassy. That means perfect, clean waves. This is the pick of the whole period. For a break that’s fairly consistent, this is a welcome little pulse.
Before that, your best bet is Friday morning, July 31st. You’ll find tiny 2ft waves from the SE with a long 12-second period, and it’s glassy again. The combined energy is only 112, which is weak, but the clean conditions make it a better choice than the rest of the trash. Good for a morning paddle if you’re itching.
The rest of the time is a write-off. Tiny, short-period windswell from the ESE or ENE, with cross-onshore winds messing it up. A few mornings, like Monday July 27th, have glassy conditions with 2ft waves, but the energy is a pathetic 58 – barely a ripple. Not worth the effort.
Through the second week, from August 4th, the size bumps up to 3ft to 3ft, but the period drops to 8-9 seconds, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore. The only halfway decent window is Wednesday morning, August 5th – glassy with 3ft from the ENE, but the short period means the shape will be average. The combined energy is 201, which is moderate, but it won’t be anything special.
So, seriously, save your energy for that glassy dawn on August 3rd. That’s the one.
Rusty out.
