The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: it’s a tough stretch ahead for Batts Rock. The next 16 days are looking pretty desperate for swell, so if you’re jonesing for a wave, you might want to find something else to do for a while.
We start off with a tiny bit of action on Friday morning, July 17th, but it’s barely a whisper. The swell is a pathetic 0.3 ft from the north, with a period of 8 seconds and combined energy of just 1 (weak). The wind is offshore and clean, but with a swell that small, you’ll be floating around on a lake. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing to write home about. That “surf” is so poor it’s not worth paddling out for.
Through Friday afternoon and into Saturday, July 18th, we see a slight bump to 0.7 ft on Friday afternoon, with a period of 9 seconds and energy of 7 (still weak), but it’s still poor surf. The wind stays offshore and clean, but it’s like trying to ride a ripple. By Saturday afternoon, the swell disappears entirely, and we’re left with zeros.
Sunday, July 19th, through Monday, July 20th, we get a few more tiny pulses – 0.3 ft waves with periods up to 12 seconds (that’s a long period for such a tiny wave, but it’ll just make the water glassy while offering nothing to ride). The energy is still in the single digits, and the wind is offshore and clean. It’s a real tease.
Then, from Tuesday, July 21st, onward, things go completely flat. From Tuesday afternoon right through to Saturday, August 1st, there’s zero swell forecast. The wind stays offshore, but without any wave energy, it’s just a clean, flat ocean. This is a long, long gap – over a week of nothing.
Batts Rock is a point break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast confirms it. The only good news is that the wind is mostly offshore, so if any swell does pop up in the future, it’ll be clean. But for now, the best option is to leave the board at home. This is a blank run, and for a spot like this, it’s not unusual.
Rusty.
