Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty flat and grim out there for a while. We’ve got a real early winter lull setting in, and you’re gonna have to be patient. The first week and a half is basically a write-off for anything rideable. From right now, through to about the 10th of July, the swell is tiny, the wind is mostly on it, and the reports are all poor. There’s just no energy in the water to get excited about.

Things start to look a little less hopeless towards the second weekend. On the morning of Friday the 17th of July, we finally see a little pulse. The swell at Bay Street (St. Vincent & the Grenadines) is a tiny 1 ft out of the WSW, but the period jumps to 19 seconds. That’s a proper long-period groundswell, so there’s some real energy behind it – the combined energy clocks in at 208, which is modest but at least something. The wind is blowing straight offshore from the SSW at 6 mph, which means the surface should be clean. It’s marginal, sure, and the size is really for a longboard or a foamie, but it’s the first sign of life we’ve seen.

Then on the morning of Saturday the 18th of July, it’s a similar story. Slightly bigger at 2 ft from the SW, period a solid 17 seconds, and again that offshore wind from the SW at 6 mph. The energy picks up a bit to 224. It’s still not a day to call in sick for, but if you’re desperate for a paddle and some little waist-high runners, that’s your best shot in the whole outlook.

So, looking at the whole 16 days, there are no standouts. The only real opportunities are those two mornings – the 17th and the 18th – and even then, it’s for the patient surfer on the right equipment. Everything else is flat or blown out. A tough run for the area, but it happens.

Stay patient, keep the board waxed, and check back in.

Rusty.

Information about the Bay Street Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Bay Street provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bay Street can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bay Street surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Bay Street) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Bay Street may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.

Bay Street is 2 km (1 miles) from Santa Monica. If you plan a vacation in Los Angeles County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Santa Monica. Santa Monica has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
