Batts Rock Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Batts Rock. I gotta be straight with you, folks—this is one of those stretches where the ocean just ain't playing ball. We're looking at a long, quiet spell ahead.

For the next couple of weeks, the whole outlook is a bit of a drag. See, Batts Rock is a point break that's already a bit inconsistent, and for this run, there's basically nothing doing. The combined swell energy is flat, with values just sitting at zero or barely creeping into single digits (0 to 8 weak energy) for the entire first week. It's poor surf conditions right through. The wind, while fresh offshore and clean from the east, is gusting at 18 to 22 mph, which keeps the surface tidy but can be a handful when there's no push to ride. The water temp is sitting at a warm 83°F—pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Around the weekend of Saturday, July 11, and Sunday, July 12, we see a tiny blip of life. A northerly swell tries to show up at 0.3ft to 0.7ft, with periods around 12 to 14 seconds. Though it's a longer-period groundswell, the energy is still weak as a kitten (combined energy of 4 to 22). It's just not enough to make that point break do its thing. That's it for the midsummer hopes.

Into the second week, the story stays the same. From Monday, July 13, all the way through to Thursday, July 23, we're seeing flat spells and tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft northerly swells with poor surf conditions stamped all over it. The offshore wind stays clean and moderate, but there's simply no swell to groom. The combined energy values mostly hang below 10 throughout.

Look, for a spot that's inconsistent anyway, a flat run like this is a bit more normal for the area. There's no standout session here, no day where you'd grab your board and rush down. For now, Batts Rock is better for a beach stroll than a paddle-out. Keep an eye on things, though—forecasts can shift.

Rusty.
