The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let's talk Black Rocks Jetty over the next couple weeks in feet and Fahrenheit. Water temp is about 76°F – right around normal for July.
Kicks off Tuesday July 14 with a 5.6ft SSW groundswell at 14 seconds – glassy morning, dead calm. That's clean reef waves, but a bit much for beginners. Afternoon holds 4.9ft, still glassy. Energy moderate at 996 and 785. Wednesday the 15th drops to 4.3ft then 3.6ft, still glassy – very good. Thursday the 16th small – 2.3ft, clean with offshore breeze. Friday the 17th onshore wind, messy 3.6ft – skip it.
Saturday and Sunday (18th-19th) small, glassy Saturday morning then onshore Sunday. Monday July 20 swell jumps to 6.9ft SSW, 16 seconds but cross-onshore – marginal. That continues through the 27th: size from 4.3ft to 8.2ft, mostly SSW, but wind stays cross-onshore, choppy. More for kites than surfboards.
Then the gold: Tuesday July 28 – morning 8.2ft SW at 15 seconds, clean with a slight offshore from the north. That's expert-only territory. Energy 2934. Afternoon glassy, 7.9ft. Wednesday July 29 – glassy morning 8.2ft SW, calm; afternoon dead calm, 7.2ft SSW. Four sessions of excellent, powerful reef waves. Crowds possible, but worth it.
First week has Tuesday/Wednesday as the early standouts, then a messy middle, then a stellar finish July 28-29. Wait for that.
