The Lowdown
Hey there, Rusty again. Let's break this down in feet and miles per hour.
We're looking at just one spot for the next couple of weeks. It starts a little slow, but it finishes with some real heavy hitters.
The first real surf shows up on Sunday, August 2nd at Black Rocks Jetty. We’ve got about a 4ft SSW swell with a 14-second period. The wind is blowing onshore from the SSW, so the surface won't be perfect. The water temperature is average for this time of year. It’s rideable, but not the standout.
Monday morning, the 3rd, is the clear winner of the first week. The wind goes to dead glass, and the swell is a clean 4ft from the SW with a 14-second period. That’s a beautiful, smooth morning. The energy is good at 965. The afternoon turns cross-shore, so get out there at dawn.
The middle of the week goes flat. By Tuesday the 4th afternoon, the swell drops right off. Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th are barely worth a mention with tiny, weak waves. Even with glassy wind on the 5th afternoon, it’s just too small.
Now for the good stuff. The second week fires up. Tuesday, August 11th afternoon, we get a 6ft SW swell with an 18-second period, clean cross-offshore wind, and massive energy at 2036. That’s a powerful, long-period groundswell. This is for experienced surfers only.
The absolute standout is Sunday, August 16th. A solid 8ft SW groundswell, 16-second period, glassy conditions, and a massive energy number of 3197. This is a big, powerful day for experts only. The swell is over 8 feet, so it’s going to be heavy. Monday the 17th is still pumping at 6ft and glassy, another excellent day.
So here’s the deal: a slow start, with Monday the 3rd being your best early call. Then the second half of the month, especially the 11th, 12th, 15th, and the big ones on the 16th and 17th, are where you need to be. That Saturday the 15th afternoon also looks killer with a 5ft swell and glassy conditions.
Watch the crowds on the big days—the word will get out. Be smart, be safe.
Rusty.
