Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase – this forecast is a desert. We’ve got a solid 13-day gap with no surf worth mentioning before anything even tries to show up. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t come until the 24th of July.
The water at Cable Bay (Porth Trecastell) is 61°F, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s one small blessing.
The afternoon of the 24th is our first glimmer: a 5ft swell from the SSW, with a short 5-second period. The wind is offshore from the NE, so it’ll be clean. The combined energy is moderate (104), so it’s surfable, but it’s nothing to write home about – just ordinary.
The 25th of July, Saturday morning, sees a 8ft swell from the west. That’s a big one, but it’s coming with onshore wind and strong energy (461). That’s for experts only, and with the wind, it’s a messy, lumpy mess. The afternoon is plain ugly.
That’s the whole story. No standout days, just a long wait for a couple of average windows. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
