The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.
We’re kicking off with a solid pulse of swell, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag at the start. The main event in the first few days is a decent-sized ESE groundswell with moderate energy, but the wind is going to be a pain. That first day, Tuesday the 21st, we’ve got an 8ft swell from the ESE with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a strong 1230. But with a 16 mph cross-offshore wind from the SE, it’s going to be a bit of a battle. The water’s sitting at 69°F – about average for this time of year, so no worries there. Wednesday the 22nd, the swell drops to 6ft, and while the wind eases, it’s still cross-off, keeping things a bit bumpy. Not a total write-off, but not the best.
Now, Thursday the 23rd morning is where it gets interesting. The swell is down to 4ft from the E with an 8-second period, but the real story is that glassy wind. 3 mph from the SSW, dead calm. That’s a major positive. The combined energy is moderate at 245, and the waves will be clean. This is a real diamond in the rough for a spot that’s inconsistent and often crowded. It’s a point break, so it’ll handle the short period better than a beach. Keep an eye on the crowd, though – it’s often busy.
After that, we hit a flat spell. From Friday the 24th afternoon through to the end of the month, it’s mostly small, weak, and ordinary. The swell drops below 3ft, combined energy plummets into the double digits, and the wind is all over the shop. There’s a long gap of poor surf here, stretching about a week. Nothing to get excited about.
Then, on Sunday the 2nd of August, we see a new pulse. The swell jumps back up to 6ft from the SSE, with a short 7-second period, but the wind is offshore. The combined energy is moderate at 338. Monday the 3rd of August morning looks like the standout of that second week: 6ft from the SSE, offshore wind from the S at 9 mph, and the combined energy at 423. It’s a solid, clean wave, but it’s pushing into the 5ft range, so beginners might find it a bit much. The period is short, so it’ll be a bit fat and dumpy, but it’s better than nothing.
In the end, the best call is Thursday the 23rd morning for that glassy session. The Monday the 3rd of August is a solid backup, but it’s a week and a half out, so don’t set your watch by it yet.
Rusty.
