The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at the surf outlook for our little patch of coast.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a frustrating one to look at. We’ve got a full 16-day window from Thursday, July 30th, right through to Friday, August 14th, and honestly, there’s not a single wave in that whole stretch that’s worth paddling out for. The swell energy is just gutless. The biggest swell we see is a tiny 2ft on the Friday afternoon of the 31st, but with a period of only 5 seconds, that’s just wind chop. The combined energy barely ever gets out of the single digits, with the highest reading being a pathetic 38 on Tuesday, August 4th.
The water is a warm 84°F on the 30th, but that’s the only real consolation. The anomaly is 6°F, which is very unusual – much warmer than normal for this time of year, but it doesn't help the waves at all.
We’re looking at a long, blank run here. Usually, with spots like this, it doesn’t stay this flat for long, but the forecasts are what they are. A few mornings like August 4th bring a bit of cross-offshore wind which would clean things up, but with a wave height of just 2ft to 2ft, it’s just not enough to do anything with.
Sorry folks, there’s nothing to get excited about. Keep your board in the car and hope for a change in the charts.
