The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in from the South Pacific. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
First up, I’ve got to be straight with you – the beginning of this outlook is a bit of a slow burn. The first solid recommendation doesn't kick in until the morning of Friday, 1st August. That's a few days of flatness or junk to sit through, but hang tight.
The real story starts Saturday morning, 3rd August. That’s the standout window. Coffs Harbour-North Wall is a point break that’s fairly consistent. We’ve got a solid S swell at 6ft with a 10-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the SSW at 12 mph. The water is sitting at 68°, which is just about bang on average for the time of year. The combined energy is pumping at 1133, which is a solid, moderate punch. This is the best on offer across the whole period, no question. It’s a fun, powerful wave for the advanced crew.
After that, Sunday morning, 4th August, is still a good one. The swell drops a touch to 5ft from the SE, but the period is 9 seconds, and the wind goes light and cross-off from the S at 3 mph. The energy is still reasonable at 563, and the conditions will be clean. If you missed the Saturday, this is your next best bet.
The rest of the first week is a mixed bag of small, weak swells with onshore winds. There’s a moment on Thursday morning, 8th August, with a glassy 3ft SSE swell at 11 seconds, giving a weak 241 energy. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Moving into the second week, it’s mostly small and average. The pick of a very average bunch is Tuesday morning, 13th August, with a glassy 2ft E swell, 10-second period, and 167 energy. It’s clean, but tiny. Not a lot to get excited about.
To put it bluntly, unless you can get out on that Saturday, 3rd August, you’re mostly looking at small, clean but weak waves, or onshore slop. The long-range stuff is just not firing.
Rusty out.
