Blokken Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a seat. This is Rusty, and I’ve got the outlook for your local stretch.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the next two weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle-out. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to speak of until the very end of the window. The first several days are a total write-off, with tiny, weak, and messy waves. It’s one of those quiet periods where the ocean just goes to sleep.

So, let’s run through it. Starting from Saturday the 25th of July, we’ve got nothing. Tiny 1 ft to 2 ft slop from the NNW with a short period, and the wind is all over the place – cross-on, onshore, you name it. The combined energy is pitiful, barely registering. It’s a no-go. This pattern of poor surf conditions and small, choppy waves continues straight through the end of the month and into the first week of August. The wind is a constant problem, mostly fresh cross-onshore breezes that keep the surface lumpy and ugly. The swell is barely a ripple, with heights struggling to get past 3 ft and periods that are short and weak. The total combined energy stays low, which is just a whisper of wave energy.

We get a bit of a tease on the afternoon of Wednesday the 5th of August. The swell bumps up to 5 ft from the WSW, and the combined energy jumps to 155, which is a sign of moderate energy. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy, and the period is a short 6 seconds. That’s a messy, weak, wind-affected wave. It’s still rated as poor surf conditions. For a beginner, 5 ft is getting a bit too much, and with the chop, it’s a real handful. For the experts, it’s just not worth it.

After that, it fades back to nothing again. The last few days of the outlook, from the 6th to the 9th of August, are back to tiny, weak, and wind-blown mush. Honestly, the whole setup for the next 16 days is more interesting for a kite surfer looking for a chop-hopping session than for a surfer.

The only silver lining? The water temperature at Blokken is a notable 69°F, which is a whopping 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a very unusual warm spell, so if you do go for a swim, it’ll feel like a bathtub.

So, the verdict? Save your energy. There are no standout days, no windows of clean, rideable surf in this 16-day forecast. It’s a long, flat, and bumpy run. But, you know the ocean – it tends not to stay this poor forever. Forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it, but for now, I’d say the board stays in the car.

Rusty.
