The Lowdown
Righto, grab a coffee. Let's talk about the stretch ahead at Coastguard Beach. To be straight with you, it's a tough run. The forecast is showing a whole lot of nothing for the next 16 days, with every single session rated as poor surf conditions. The swell energy is weak, mostly staying in the range of 2 to 44 (combined energy), so there's just no real power in the water. Expect a lot of small, weak waves with a few brief spikes of more size that are blown out by strong winds. The water temp is sitting at 67°F which is about 1°F cooler than average for this time of year, so pretty normal, nothing to worry about there.
The only real pulse of swell worth mentioning kicks off on Monday, August 3rd. Morning sees a 6 ft south swell, with a short period of 6 seconds, and a strong cross-off breeze from the SSW at 25 mph. The afternoon drops a little to 6 ft, with the period stretching to 8 seconds, and the wind stays strong at 28 mph. The energy is moderate (253 and 365), but the surf quality is still rated poor. The wind is strong, so it will be clean but with a lot of chop. It's a bit of a mess, honestly. The rest of the week is tiny, with 1 ft to 3 ft waves and all kinds of cross-shore wind. There's a brief moment of calm on Saturday, August 8th, with a glassy morning and a 1 ft swell, but it's just not enough to get excited about.
After that, the second week looks even more meager. Waves stay under 3 ft, with very weak energy and a lot of onshore winds. Conditions are small and choppy. For a spot that's usually consistent, this is a real dry spell. If you're a kiter, the bigger, windier days might be more interesting than for us surfers, but for a paddle surfer, it's a hard pass.
The standout, if you can call it that, is Monday, August 3rd, with the 6 ft south swell. The wind is cross-off, which is good, but the short period and strong breeze will make it a battle. It's an expert-only day given the size and wind, and even then, it's a low-quality option.
