The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a long, hard look at the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: this is a tough stretch. The forecast is pretty much a flat line of messy, onshore slop. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but honestly, there’s not a single standout session in the bunch. The whole period is a write-off for surf.
The first recommendation doesn’t come until the 3rd of August, and it’s a dud. From there, it’s a relentless grind of poor surf conditions day after day, all the way through to the 18th. There are no gaps with good surf, just a long, consistent run of bad news.
The only spot on the radar is Baldwin Beach Park, a reef and point setup. It’s a very consistent beginner-friendly wave that’s exposed to the swell, but it’s getting hammered by a persistent cross to cross-onshore wind from the ENE. The swell is small, mostly 3 ft to 7 ft, with a short period between 6 and 11 seconds, and it’s all coming from the ENE. The combined energy of all swells is weak to moderate, peaking at around 515. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
Because of the constant cross-shore breeze and chop, the waves are just a mess. For a beach-and-reef setup like this, it’s looking more like a kite-surfing day than a day for a paddle board. The wind is too strong and the quality is too poor for any decent surf. Even the morning of the 14th of August, when the swell bumps up to 7 ft, the wind is still cross and the period is short, so it’s just a bigger, uglier version of the same story.
Honestly, if you’re itching to get wet, the forecasts might change, but right now, it’s a solid “don’t bother.” Keep your board in the bag and wait for a better window.
