Bay Street Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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.
