The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – this outlook for Bob Hall Pier is a tough one. We’re looking at a full 16-day run, from now through the end of the month, and the truth is, the ocean is just not playing ball. Every single forecast slot comes back with *poor surf conditions*. There’s no sugar-coating it; there are no standout days, no hidden gems. This is a flat spell, pure and simple. For a spot that’s normally consistent, this is a long, dry stretch.
Let’s run through it. Starting Sunday the 16th, we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the SE with a weak period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 60 – that’s barely a ripple. Winds are onshore or cross-onshore for the entire period, varying from a light breeze to a fresh 18 mph, so it’ll be choppy and messy throughout. The wave height barely fluctuates, hovering between 1ft and 3ft over the next two weeks, with period never climbing above 6 seconds. It’s all short-period, weak wind swell.
This pattern of tiny, junk surf runs wall to wall. There’s a brief moment on Friday the 28th morning where the wind goes cross-shore and light, but the swell is still only 2ft with a 5-second period. It’s still a no-go.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, the setup at Bob Hall Pier (Texas) looks far more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. With those persistent onshore winds and small, choppy waves, it’s just not made for a surfboard. Water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re staring at the flat ocean.
Hang in there. Forecasts can change, but for now, save the wax.
