The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks. We’ve only got one spot in the sights, and it’s going to be a real ride.
First thing, the water temperature is sitting at 67°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a welcome surprise. We kick off with some proper groundswell and the winds are friendly, making for a solid option. Tuesday morning the 28th is looking really good: a solid 10ft SW groundswell with a long 14-second period – loads of power, combined wave energy reading a meaty 3793 – and the offshore wind from the SE is only 6 mph. It’s going to be clean as glass. This one is strictly for the experienced crew; it’s got some serious punch.
Tuesday afternoon holds similar, still 10ft from the SW with that offshore breeze hanging in there. Things get messy from Wednesday and Thursday as the wind shifts, so quality drops right off. Then Friday the 31st gets ugly with strong onshore winds and building swell. Forget about it.
Now, the real standout. This is the one to wait for. Saturday, the 1st of August. The forecast is getting me fired up. We’re looking at a thumping 15ft SW groundswell with that long 15-16 second period and an ESE offshore wind at 12 mph. The combined wave energy is up at 8593 in the morning and 10169 in the afternoon. This is big, powerful, and clean. But let me be clear: this is exceptional surf, but only for experts. At 15ft, this is not a spot for beginners. This is the real deal, heavy water. If you have the skill and the right board, this is the day to mark on your calendar.
After that clean weekend, Sunday and Monday go downhill fast with onshore winds blowing the place out. We lose most of the following week to strong winds and messy conditions. There is a massive pulse of swell forecast for Wednesday the 5th and again the following weekend, but the winds are blowing a gale or straight onshore, making it a write-off for surfing unless you’re into kites. The waves are way too big for this break anyway, hitting 19-23ft, which is just insane.
The final hope is Wednesday the 12th. After all that chaos, we get a slight window late in the outlook. The swell has dropped right back to 8-10ft from the W, with the period short at 8-9 seconds, meaning weaker, crumbly waves. But the wind is finally a light cross-offshore from the SSW, so it should be rideable, even if it’s not firing. It’s a marginal call but the best you’ll find in the second week.
So to sum it up: Tuesday the 28th is a fun, clean, solid swell for the crew who know what they are doing. The absolute best on offer, hands down, is Saturday the 1st of August. A truly powerful, clean, expert-only session. Be ready for it.
Rusty.
