Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking at City Beach groyne.
First off, the start is a dud. Sunday’s a total washout – onshore chop and weak, messy surf. The water is 63°, which is about 5° colder than average for this time of year, so you’ll be wanting a thick suit.
The first real action hits Monday morning, 6th July. We’re looking at a 8ft swell out of the WSW, with a clean cross-off breeze from the ESE at 9 mph. The combined swell energy is pumping at 2716 (moderate to strong). This is big stuff – over 8ft on the Monday afternoon peak – strictly for experienced surfers. The period is long at 15 to 16 seconds, giving real power and shape, but at a beach/groyne break, those long lines can sometimes run straight. Tuesday morning is another cracker: offshore ESE wind at just 3 mph, 8ft swell, same long period. Clean, solid, and expert-only. Crowds are likely.
Wednesday the 8th is a nice change of pace. Swell drops to 4ft, but the period jumps to a very long 19 seconds. With a light offshore, that’s a magic combo for the groyne – the long period will wrap in nicely and the size makes it more accessible.
Then it goes average. Thursday and Friday look onshore and choppy. Not worth the hassle.
Sunday the 12th morning brings it back: 7ft from the WSW at 15 seconds with a light cross-off breeze. Clean and powerful. Then Monday the 13th is a sneaky good session: 4ft to 4ft with a true offshore wind from the ENE and E. That’s glassy and groomed – perfect for the groyne.
Looking way out to Friday the 17th, there’s another pulse of 7ft swell with 16-second period and cross-off winds. A promising but less certain prospect for the experts.
The best bets are Monday 6th and Tuesday 7th for the big clean swell, and that Wednesday 8th morning for a smaller, beautifully lined-up session.
Rusty out.
