The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Blacknose Point has got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.
First things first, the water temperature is sittin' at 59°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Not a huge deal, but it's nice to feel that little bit of extra warmth when you're out there.
Now, the surf. We've got a bit of a slow start. Monday the 20th is pretty flat and messy, not really worth paddling out for. Tuesday the 21st sees a jump in size, but it's still a bit of a jumbled mess with a cross-shore wind. The swell's got some decent energy behind it though – we're talkin' moderate wave energy (1950 on Tuesday morning, 2058 in the arvo).
Things start to get interesting on Wednesday the 22nd. The wind swings offshore from the W and SW, cleanin' things right up. The swell is solid, a 7ft to 10ft with a period that goes from short (8 seconds) to that long-period groundswell (12 seconds). That's a lovely combo at the point, givin' you power and shape. Definitely a standout for the here and now.
But hold onto your board, because the real highlight is lookin' like Thursday the 23rd. That's a big day. We're talkin' a 16ft SW groundswell with a 14-15 second period, and the wind is offshore. The wave energy is absolutely pumping – that's strong to very strong, with a reading of 16904 in the morning. This is for experienced surfers only, it's going to be big and powerful. If you've got the skills, that Thursday morning session is the one you want to circle. The Friday the 24th continues the big swell, but the wind gets a bit gnarly, so it's not as clean.
Lookin' further out, the wave energy drops a bit over the weekend and into the following week, but the quality remains pretty good. The standout from the second week is lookin' like Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th of July. Another big pulse of long-period SSW groundswell is on the cards, with wave energy readings of 16775 and 18577. The wind is a clean cross-off, so the wave faces will be tidy. That's a long way out, but the signs are there for something special.
One thing to note – Blacknose Point does get crowded "often", so for those standout days, get there early or be prepared to share.
Alright, that's the long and short of it. A bit of a slow start, but then a couple of absolute crackers, especially for the crew who can handle the big stuff.
