Bullies Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it. We've got one spot on the radar for the next couple of weeks, and it's a ripper for the experienced crew.

Bullies is set to fire up, starting this Friday morning. The water temp is sitting at 58°, which is about 1° below average for this time of year—nothing to worry about, just a touch of that winter bite.

Things kick off strong on Friday, July 17th, with a solid 7ft SSW groundswell, a long, juicy 16-second period, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is pumping at a massive 2191 (strong to very strong), and with that clean, glassy surface, it's going to be a proper session for anyone with the skills. It holds through the afternoon, dropping to 6ft but still glassy and clean. This is the standout of the whole run—don't miss it.

Saturday and Sunday, July 18th and 19th, see the swell drop considerably, down to around 3ft to 4ft, with cleaner cross-off and offshore winds. It'll be fun, but not the main event. The energy drops way down too (362 to 501), so it's a good time for a longer board.

Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st see a bit more life, with a new SW swell pushing 4ft to 5ft, and the period staying in the 13-16 second range. Winds are off or cross-off, keeping it clean. The energy picks back up to 607-867 (moderate). It's very good, but not the peak of the run.

We get a bit of a messy period on Wednesday the 22nd, with rain showers and a cross-onshore wind messing up the 5ft swell. Thursday the 23rd has a big 8ft SSW swell, but the wind is onshore, making it a bit of a battle.

Now, the next real standout window is Friday, July 24th. The morning is solid at 8ft, but the afternoon is the pick: 10ft of SSW swell with a 14-second period and a clean cross-off wind. The energy is a massive 3110 (very strong). This is for the experts only—too big for beginners, and it's going to be a heavy, powerful wave. Saturday the 25th is also excellent for the experienced, with 7ft and a clean offshore NW wind, 1363 energy (strong).

The following week from Monday the 27th to Tuesday the 28th stays solid, with 6ft to 8ft swells and clean winds, but the size and power keep it firmly in the advanced zone. The energy stays high (1370-3075). Wednesday the 29th starts to fade, and by Thursday the 30th, the swell drops right off to 2ft, but with a very long 22-second period clean offshore wind. The energy is still 917 (moderate), but it'll be a weird, slow, long-period swell better suited to a point break than a beach-and-reef setup like Bullies.

The final few days, from July 31st through August 1st, are a write-off. The wind swings onshore, the swell gets lumpy, and conditions are poor. Leave it.

So, the two true standouts for the experienced surfer: Friday morning, July 17th, and Friday afternoon, July 24th. Mark your calendar.

Rusty, signing off.
