Batts Rock Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next 16 days for Batts Rock. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough one. The whole period is looking seriously flat. From now all the way through to the end of the month, the swell barely gets a pulse. We’re talking about a long stretch of tiny, weak waves that just aren’t going to give you anything worth paddling for.

The first possible surf shows up on Saturday, July 11th, but it’s heartbreaking. A tiny 0.3ft swell from the north with a 13-second period, but the combined energy is a measly (4). It’s just not enough. The water is 82°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least a dip will be warm. But the waves? Forget it.

Sunday, July 12th, through to the end of the week is more of the same – 0.7ft at best, blowing offshore with a moderate to fresh breeze, keeping the surface clean for the three waves that might show up. The wind is good, but there’s simply nothing to surf. The combined energy barely cracks double digits, mostly sitting in the single digits (2 to 15). It’s a classic case of “clean but flat.”

For the second week, from about July 19th onward, the model just gives up. Swell height is a dash, and combined energy is zero. It’s a total blank. Even the offshore winds can’t save this one. This is a spot that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and it’s showing it right now. There are no standouts, no best days – just a long wait for a pulse that never comes.

If you’re desperate for something, the best you’ll see is that tiny 0.7ft, 11-second pulse on Monday, July 13th, with a combined energy of (15) – but that’s not saying much. It’s a long period groundswell, but it’s too small to do anything with. This is more of a kite-surfing window than a paddle-surfing one, if you’ve got the gear and the wind.

Stay patient, folks. The forecast can always change, but right now, it’s a dry spell.

Rusty.
