The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Barron Rivermouth.
Right now, the water’s sitting at 89°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus.
To be straight with you, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th have small, weak swell and the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s not doing us any favours. The combined energy is low to moderate (295 to 721), and the waves are just not there. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are still marginal, with the swell trying to build but the wind hanging onshore or cross-onshore. It’s a frustrating start.
The real action doesn’t kick off until late in the month. The standout window is Tuesday the 28th of July. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell rolling in from the southwest, and the wind is forecast to be glassy in the afternoon. The combined energy is strong (2274), and it’s clean. This is the pick of the whole period – a proper session for experienced surfers.
Wednesday the 29th holds onto that size, with 8ft swell from the same direction, but the wind shifts cross-shore and gets a bit stronger, adding some chop. Still, the energy is very strong (over 3000), so it’s got punch, but it’s not as clean as Tuesday. Thursday the 30th is still big at 8ft, but the wind goes cross-onshore, so the quality drops.
After that, the swell fades fast. Friday the 31st of July and into the first week of August, the size drops back under 5ft, and the wind stays messy or onshore. The energy falls away to weak levels (under 500), and the surf becomes poor or marginal at best. There’s a gap of several days from the 31st of July through to the end of the forecast with no real standouts or good quality.
So, if you’re keen, circle Tuesday the 28th of July. That’s the one to go for. The rest of the run is pretty quiet.
