Blacknose Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about this run we’ve got coming up.

It’s a bit of a slow start, but the waiting game is going to pay off. There’s nothing worth paddling for right this minute, but the surf kicks in from the afternoon of Sunday, July 26th, and then it’s on and off all the way through to the second week of August. There’s a couple of dry spells, especially around the 2nd and 7th, but the good stuff in between is real.

The standout for the whole run is Blacknose Point. This is a proper point break, and it’s pretty exposed to the swell. For a spot like this, you want the wind to play nice, and for the most part, it does. The water temp is sitting right around 58.6°F which is pretty normal for this time of year – nothing to complain about.

Sunday, July 26th afternoon – This is your entry point. The swell is just under 6.9 ft coming from the SW, with a solid 11 second period. The wind is offshore from the W at 9.3 mph, and it’s glassy clean. The wave energy is pumping at 1202, and it’s going to feel like a gentle push. This is a solid paddle for the experienced crew, but it’s a fun, clean window.

Monday, July 27th – Forget it. The wind swings around to a cross-shore from the NNW at 15.5 mph, and it’s choppy. The swell is a bit bigger, 7.5 ft, but the quality is gone. Not worth a wet suit.

Tuesday, July 28th – The swell drops a little, but the wind is a tricky cross-off from the NW. The period jumps to 16 seconds on the morning, and the energy is huge at 7138. That’s a lot of push. The swell is 7.9 ft, which is getting into the big stuff, and the wind is 21.7 mph. It’s clean, but it’s a heavy paddle. The afternoon drops to 8.2 ft, still big, and the wind is still strong. This is for the experienced crew only.

Wednesday, July 29th morning – This is the monster. 16.4 ft of SW swell, 15 second period, and the energy is screaming at 11180. The wind is a cross-off from the SSW at 18.6 mph. This is not for the faint of heart. It’s big, it’s powerful, and it’s straight-up expert territory. The afternoon drops to 11.5 ft with offshore wind from the SW at 15.5 mph. Still big, but cleaner.

Thursday, July 30th – Back to the good stuff. 8.2 ft of SW swell, 13 second period, and the wind is offshore from the WSW at 9.3 mph. The energy is 2434. It’s clean, it’s punchy, and it’s the best balance of size and quality we’ve seen. The afternoon is similar, 7.5 ft, same wind, just a bit smaller. This is the pick of the first week.

Friday, July 31st – The swell drops to 6.2 ft, but the wind is light offshore from the WSW at 6.2 mph. The period is 12 seconds. It’s clean, glassy, and perfect for a longboard or a fun shortboard. The energy is 1167, a nice, gentle
