Alright, Rusty here with the imperial version for the same stretch.
We’ve got a solid run of groundswell on the cards, mostly from the SW and SSW, with some real punchy energy through the first week. The water’s sitting at 76°, which is pretty much on the money for this time of year – no dramas there.
The standout by a country mile is Black Rocks Jetty on Saturday, July 12, in the morning. That’s a solid 8ft on the face from the SW, with a long 15-second period, and the wind is absolutely dead calm – glassy as a mirror. The combined energy is powerful at 2699, so this is proper groundswell. This reef handles that direction beautifully, and with the optimum swell from the SW, it’s all lining up. That’s for experienced surfers only – it’s gonna be big and demanding.
The next real highlight is Monday morning, July 14, with 7ft from the SSW, 14-second period, and again, glassy conditions with NNW wind at 0 mph. The energy’s strong at 1644, and this is another session for the experienced crew. Good clean offshore vibes all morning.
Through the middle of the week, the swell drops a bit but stays rideable. Tuesday morning, July 15, offers 6ft from the SSW, glassy calm, with 1093 energy – nice clean lines for those who can handle a reef. Into the weekend, the 19th of July looks promising again with 3ft from the SW, 16-second period, and dead calm air – 564 energy, but it’s long-period groundswell that’ll wrap in nicely.
There’s a gap in quality around the 16th and 17th, where the swell dips to 2ft and the wind turns messy – not worth paddling out. But by the 20th of July, a new pulse of 8ft from the SW hits, though the wind’s cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s a bit of a battle. The 23rd of July Thursday afternoon brings back glassy conditions with 8ft from the SSW, 13-second period, and 1725 energy – that’s another cracker for the experienced.
Further out, the 26th of July has a 20-second period groundswell from the SW, but with cross-onshore winds, it’s more of a looker than a paddler. Overall, the first week is where the magic is – that Saturday morning and Monday morning are the ones to circle.
Rusty.
