The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here with the straight talk.
Cayton Bay Bunkers is looking at a real dry spell across the whole 16 days. There’s a big gap of nothing but tiny, weak waves from the start, right through the first week. The energy is just rubbish. The only flicker of something is on Tuesday, July 28th, with a 2ft northerly swell running on a 9-second period, but it’s just surfable, not worth getting excited about. The water is a touch warmer than usual at 61°F.
The main problem is the swell is tiny and weak, barely ever hitting moderate energy. The best shot comes on the morning of Friday, August 7th. We’ll see a 4ft north-northeast swell with a 9-second period, pushing the energy up to 258 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-off from the west-northwest, so it’ll be clean. But it’s still pretty ordinary, and the afternoon gets ruined by onshore wind. The afternoon of August 8th also shows a 4ft northeast swell, but with that energy (227) and a cross wind, it’s going to be a lumpy mess. For a beach break, that’s a kite-surfing day, not a paddle one.
Bottom line: the morning of August 7th is your only real look, and it’s a gamble. Don’t plan your week around it.
Rusty.
