The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's take a proper look at what's coming down the line for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, we've got a slow start for the next week, with a few small windows of fun surf, but the real standouts are shaping up for the end of July and into early August. The water temp is sitting at about 67°, which is pretty average for the time of year, no major surprises there.
The first real bit of action is on Saturday the 25th of July. Coffs Harbour-North Wall is looking at a clean 4ft SSE swell with a 12-second period, giving it some good energy (504). The wind is almost glassy from the east, so you're going to get some pretty clean lines. It's not huge, but a good way to kick off the weekend.
Then we roll into Sunday the 26th. The morning session is the pick with a glassy calm, 0 mph wind, and a 4ft SSE swell. It's clean and rideable, but not a standout. The afternoon gets a bit messier with a cross-onshore breeze.
The middle of the week is quiet. Monday and Tuesday have small, ordinary 3ft to 3ft swells with low energy. Wednesday and Thursday morning are even smaller with weak energy (43-120), so not worth rushing out for.
Now, the first real standout pops up on Thursday the 30th of July afternoon. We get a jump in energy to 6ft from the S with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy reading is 1098, which is moderate to strong. The winds are cross-off, so it'll be clean, but this is for the more experienced crew.
The big highlight, and the best on offer, is absolutely Friday the 31st of July morning. We're looking at a solid 10ft S swell with a 12-second period. The energy reading is a massive 4120, which is very strong. The wind is offshore from the SSW, so it's going to be clean and powerful. Crowds are possible at this spot, and this is a serious, expert-only wave. If you don't have the experience, stay on the beach for this one. Saturday the 1st of August morning is also excellent for experienced surfers with a 7ft S swell and clean cross-off winds, and energy of 1415.
After that, the surf settles down a bit. Sunday the 2nd of August morning has a nice glassy 5ft SE swell, but the afternoon gets blown out. Monday the 3rd of August morning is another glassy option with 5ft SE swell.
The second week, from the 4th of August onwards, gets pretty ordinary. Small swell, poor conditions, and onshore winds. There's a glimmer on Friday the 7th of August morning with 5ft ESE swell and clean cross-off winds, but it's nothing special.
Another interesting one pops up on Saturday the 8th of August morning. This is another expert-only call with a 10ft ESE swell and energy of 1347. The winds are clean and cross-off, so again, big and powerful. Then Sunday the 9th of August morning has a clean 6ft ESE swell with a nice offshore wind, which could be a fun way to wrap up the period.
