The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our local stretch.
Truth is, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions right through the end of July and into the first days of August. Don’t get your hopes up for any real action until we get into the first week of August.
Let’s run through it. From Tuesday the 21st of July right through to the 4th of August, it’s a massive gap with no decent surf to speak of. Swell heights barely tickle 0.7ft to 2ft most days, with periods all over the shop and weak energy readings – mostly single-digit or low double-digit numbers. The wind is cross-on, onshore, or just messy, and the water here is running much warmer than normal for this time of year at 65°, which is a solid 4° above average. That’s nice for a dip, but not for surfing.
The one true standout, and really the only thing worth a mention, lands on Wednesday the 5th of August. We finally see a little pulse of life. The morning session at Coombesgate Beach is looking promising. The swell builds to a clean 4ft from the WSW, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy of the swell pushes into the moderate range. More importantly, the wind is expected to be glassy – that’s the key here. It’s a rare moment of clean conditions, even if the waves are nothing special in size. This is a beginner-friendly break, and that small, clean swell will be perfect for a longboard or a foamie. The afternoon goes a bit choppy as the wind swings cross-on, so get on it early.
So, for the whole 16-day window, it’s a long dry spell with one bright, glassy morning on the 5th of August. That’s your best bet. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
