Blue Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Tuesday’s got that little bump early with Blue Bay seeing a clean 2ft from the ENE, but it’s barely a ripple and the cross-on wind will chop it up something shocking. That’s the trade-off—pretty period but no push. Honestly, the next few days are a waiting game. Wednesday and Thursday, though… that’s where the ocean wakes up.

Wednesday morning the swell jumps to 11-12ft from the south, period around 10 seconds, and the wind is cross-off—clean lines, proper power. The energy reads 2364, which is solid, but the tide might be playing games, so don’t expect perfection. By the afternoon it’s up to 13ft with even more energy (2962), still cross-off, but that size is pushing it—only for the experienced crew out at Blue Bay. That’s the standout window, no question.

Thursday morning holds 10ft from the south, period still 10 seconds, and the wind’s cross-off again—clean, powerful, and the energy’s climbed to 3376. That’s your best bet of the whole run, if you can handle the size. Both Wednesday and Thursday mornings are the only real standouts; everything else is either too small, too chopped, or the wind’s onshore.

Friday morning drops to 4-5ft but it’s glassy—dead calm, light offshore. That’s clean but small, and with the period at 10 seconds, it’ll be fun for the logger or the longboard, not a peak day. The energy’s only 511, so don’t rush. Saturday’s similar—under 3ft, clean early but the onshore kicks in by the afternoon.

Sunday and Monday sink back into poor surf—tiny waves, cross-on winds, and the energy’s weak (under 200). Tuesday the 22nd sees a bit of a pulse, 5-6ft from the SSE, but it’s cross-on, choppy, and the period’s dropped, so it’s not worth paddling out for. After that, it’s a desert. The 23rd through the 26th are all poor—small, onshore, or lumpy, with the only real size on the 24th afternoon at 6ft but gusty cross-on and a short 6-second period, which is just mush.

The 27th gives a tiny clean window—3ft from the ENE, light offshore, period 7 seconds, but it’s surfable at best. The 28th and 29th bring more swell, 5-7ft, but it’s cross-shore, rain, and lumpy—no good. The 30th is the same story, 4-5ft, onshore rain.

Water temp’s sitting at 64°, which is about normal for this time of year, nothing wild. But honestly, this stretch is a letdown. If you’re chasing waves, Wednesday and Thursday mornings are the only real deal, and they’re big. The rest… maybe bring the bodyboard, not the shortboard.
