Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
We've got a solid run of surf coming up at Black Rocks Jetty, starting this Sunday, July 12th. The water's sitting at a warm 76.1°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no shocks there.
The opener on Sunday morning is a strong one. We're looking at a solid 8.2ft swell from the SW, with a long 15-second period – that's proper groundswell, packing a lot of punch (combined energy of 2699). The wind is light and onshore, so it won't be perfect, but there's plenty of power. For the more experienced crew, this is a good chance to get amongst it.
Monday afternoon sees a shift. The swell drops a touch to 6.9ft, still from the SW, but the wind swings around to a light cross-offshore, cleaning things up nicely. That's your window for some quality, lined-up waves before the tide starts playing tricks.
The real standout, though, is Tuesday the 14th. The morning is glassy – dead flat calm – with a clean 5.6ft SSW swell. It's a bit smaller, but the conditions will be pristine. That's the pick of the early week for sure, though it's aimed at the more experienced surfer given the size. The afternoon has a risk of thunderstorms, but it stays glassy.
From Wednesday, the swell slowly backs off, dipping below 3ft by the end of the week. There's a bit of a lull from Thursday the 16th through to the following weekend, with only small, clean waves in the 2.3ft to 3ft range. The wind stays favourable – mostly glassy or light offshore – so logs and funboards will be the go.
Then, things get interesting again. On Saturday the 25th and especially Sunday the 26th, we see a new SSW swell pulse. Sunday morning hits 5.6ft from the SW, with a 16-second period and glassy conditions. The water should still be nice and warm. That's a serious session for the advanced crew.
The real heater, though, looks like Monday the 27th. The swell jumps to 7.2ft from the SW, with a very long 18-second period – that's huge energy (combined energy of 2683) and a proper groundswell. The wind is dead calm and glassy. This is a big, powerful swell for experts only at a reef break like this, but if you can handle it, you'll be in for a treat. Keep in mind, with a period that long, the sets will be spaced out but the waves will be fat and lined up.
