Blokken Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for the coast.

I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a long, lean spell. From Thursday July 2nd right through the forecast, almost every session at Blokken is a dud. There’s a big gap of poor surf with nothing to recommend for days on end.

The only break we’ve got info on is Blokken. It’s an exposed, inconsistent little spot that usually wants a NNW swell direction. This isn’t your typical ocean setup. The water temp is running around 68°F, which is a wild 8°F warmer than normal – that’s a massive anomaly, really unusual for this time of year.

Kick-off on Thursday afternoon July 2nd brings a 5ft swell out of the WNW, but it’s straight onshore wind at 16 mph from the NNW. Short 5-second period, and the combined energy is weak at 106 (moderate). It’s just poor quality, messy water. Friday the 3rd is near identical – 4ft from NW/NNW, onshore winds, energy a bit higher (125 to 154) but still no good.

We drop to a tiny 2ft swell on Saturday the 4th from the NNW, cross-onshore wind, energy crashing to 48 and 45. Not even worth thinking about. Sunday the 5th sees a bit more size – 5ft from the NW, but again with 19 mph onshore winds and short 5-second period (energy 94 to 96). Windy, lumpy, poor.

The first week is all a bust. Monday the 6th is pitiful with 1ft swell and cross-shore winds, energy a laughable 13.

If there’s any hope, it’s way late in the second week. Saturday July 11th finally gives us something: a 3ft to 3ft swell from the NNW, but with a light 9 mph cross-offshore breeze from the east and ENE. The wave report says "clean" – that’s the only clean session in the whole 16 days. Period is still short (5 to 6 seconds) and energy is low (42 to 46), so it won’t be cracking, but it’s the best we’ve got. That Saturday morning is the pick.

Sunday July 12th morning also looks clean with 2ft swell and a light 13 mph SSE cross-offshore (energy 16). Tiny, but clean.

Then we’re back into onshore junk on the 13th and 14th. Thursday July 16th morning brings another clean window: 2ft from the NNW, a light 9 mph ENE cross-offshore breeze, and a slightly longer 7-second period (energy 48). That’s a real small, clean surf window.

Friday July 17th afternoon sees a bit more size – 5ft from the NW, 6-second period, light 9 mph cross-onshore wind, but energy bumps to 162 (moderate). The wind is still onshore though, so it’s only fairly choppy.

So, your best shots across the entire 16 days are Saturday July 11th morning and Thursday July 16th morning – small, clean, but low energy. Beyond that, it’s a long wait. Keep your eyes peeled, but don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
