The Lowdown
Right then, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for our local patch.
Honestly, I’ve gotta level with you – the next 16 days look like a proper flat spell for Cayton Bay Bunkers. We’re lookin’ at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves with very little energy. The water temp is sittin’ right on 59°, which is spot on for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The first bit of action worth paddlin’ out for doesn’t show up until Monday the 27th of July. We’ve got a small 2 ft swell from the north, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is only 83 (weak), so it’s not gonna have much grunt. The wind is WNW at 9 mph, blowin’ cross-offshore, which will keep the surface clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary – you’ll be scratchin’ for something to ride.
After that, it’s a letdown. The rest of the week and into the start of August is dominated by tiny 0.7 ft to 2 ft lumps, with onshore and cross-shore winds messin’ up any chance of a clean wave. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Tuesday the 28th of July with a 2 ft swell from the north, a 9-second period, and glassy conditions from an ENE breeze at 3 mph. Looks clean, but it’s still just too small to get excited about. The energy is only 40 (weak).
By Friday the 31st of July, we see a little bump from the east, with a 3 ft swell and a short 6-second period. But the wind is blowin’ straight onshore from the NNE at 12 mph, so it’s gonna be a messy, choppy mess. Not worth your time.
The rest of the first week of August is a write-off – flat, with occasional 0.7 ft dribbles and a bit of offshore wind here and there. Sunday the 2nd of August has a glassy morning, but with only 0.7 ft on the cards, you’re better off takin’ a day off.
The best chance in the whole 16-day window is that Monday the 27th of July. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but if you’re desperate for a paddle, that morning with the clean 2 ft north swell is your only shout. The rest? A quiet patch where the forecast might change, but as it stands, it’s a tough one for the surfers.
Rusty.
