The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Bob Hall Pier is a tough one. There's just no good surf on offer. The whole stretch from Sunday the 19th of July right through to Monday the 3rd of August is a write-off. Every single session is flagged as poor surf conditions, and the scores are all zero. That's a long blank run, and for a spot that's usually consistent, this is a proper bummer.
The swell is tiny throughout – barely scraping 1ft to 5ft, but with a short period hanging around 4 to 6 seconds. That's weak, windswell stuff, not much push. The combined energy is mostly weak, in the double digits (like 65, 45, 47) until the last few days when it climbs into the low hundreds (102, 159, 200), but even then the conditions are still rated poor. The wind is a constant problem – nearly always a cross-onshore breeze from the SSE or SE, between 9 and 22 mph. That's going to chop the surface up and leave it messy. There's one morning on the 1st of August where the wind swings light cross-shore from the SSW at 6 mph, but the swell is still only 5ft at 6 seconds, and the wave comment says "poor surf conditions." So even that tiny window of cleaner breeze doesn't salvage it.
The swell direction is SSE, which is not the optimum SE that Bob Hall Pier likes, so that's another knock. For a beginner-friendly beach/pier break, the small size might be okay for learning, but the chop and wind make it unpleasant. With the swell staying under 5ft, it's not too big for beginners, but the quality is just not there. The best you can say is that the combined energy does pick up to moderate levels (164, 167, 180, 200) in the first few days of August, but it's still a cross-onshore mess. Honestly, if you're desperate for a paddle, you might get a few crumbly closeouts, but I'd save the wax for another time. The forecast can change, but right now, it's a blank run. Hang tight.
That's it from me. Rusty.
