Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this run of forecasts is a bit of a struggle for the next week and a half. We’re looking at tiny, weak dribble for days on end. The wave energy is barely there, like a whisper. You’ll be waiting a long time for anything to get going.
The first real pulse of life shows up on Thursday the 23rd of July. That morning, we’ve got a 7ft swell from the NNW, but the period is a short, choppy 6 seconds. The wind is a fresh cross-shore, which is going to make it lumpy and messy. This is a big jump in power, with combined energy hitting 422 (moderate), but it’s not clean. It’s a raw, powerful look that’s really only for experienced surfers. The afternoon drops to 6ft, but the wind swings to a strong cross-shore, keeping it messy.
The following Sunday, the 26th of July, morning brings another solid push – a 7ft swell from the WSW, period still short at 8 seconds. The energy is strong, reading 541 (strong), but again, a strong cross-onshore wind is going to ruin it. It’s messy, lumpy, and not the kind of day you’d drive for. The afternoon drops to 5ft, but the wind doesn’t let up.
The water temperature at Coombesgate Beach is a warm 64°F, which is a whopping 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a very unusual anomaly, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty or even boardshorts if you’re tough.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle in the second week, the 27th of July Monday morning has a 4ft swell with light onshore wind, but it’s still a weak, choppy setup. The whole window is a washout for quality waves. For paddle surfing, this is a tough call. The wind and swell combo on the bigger days looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a traditional surfer.
Rusty.
