Hey folks, Rusty here with the Black Rocks Jetty outlook. This reef is exposed to the southwest and breaks very consistently. It’s an advanced wave – gotta know what you’re doing. Crowds can pop up now and then, especially when it’s clean. Water temp is pretty normal for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.

Saturday morning, July 11 – circle this date. Swell bumps to 5.5ft from the SSW, period still a sweet 15 seconds, and the wind is flat calm. Combined energy hits
