Table - best surf conditions forecast for Capoons Bay - Bombas over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch for Capoons Bay - Bombas. The next 16 days are basically a write-off for any decent surf. There is no swell to speak of.
We start off on Wednesday afternoon, July 8th, with a weak 4ft easterly swell, but it's short period at 7 seconds and the wind is a cross-off at 19 mph. The energy is pretty weak, and the whole thing just looks messy. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
From Thursday the 9th all the way through to Wednesday the 23rd of July, we’re looking at a massive gap. Swell heights barely manage to tickle 2ft, and most of the time they're sitting at 0.3ft or 0.7ft. The wind is relentless – a constant 16 to 22 mph cross-off from the east. It’s clean, but there’s just nothing to ride. The combined wave energy drops into single digits and low double digits for most of that period, which tells you all you need to know. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
There is a tiny blip on Thursday July 16th, with a 2ft northerly swell and a period of 8 seconds, but it’s not enough to get excited about. The energy is still low. This is a reef break that needs a proper north swell to work, and we just aren't getting it. For the whole 16 days, the optimum swell direction from the north never shows up with any size or power.
If you’re a beginner, there’s nothing to worry about because there’s nothing to ride. For the experts, it’s the same sad story. This set-up is a beach-and-reef situation, and with the strong winds and no waves, it’s looking more like a kite session than a paddle surf. Honestly, it’s a blank run. Hang in there, forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
