The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's shaping up for our local stretch.
We're looking at a pretty lean run overall, I gotta be honest. The surf is small and the conditions are just not cooperating for a decent paddle. There's a bit of a wait before anything even gets close to worthwhile.
The water's sitting at a warm 74°, which is a good 7° warmer than average for this time of year. That's a real standout, feels like bathwater out there.
The first hint of something surfable doesn't roll in until Saturday morning, the 8th of August. Even then, it's a marginal call. Swell is tiny, around 2ft from the SSW, with a period of 17 seconds. That's a long period for such a small wave. The wind is light and cross-shore, which is okay, but with the combined energy only at 276 (moderate), it's just not enough to get excited about.
Sunday morning, the 9th of August, is probably the best of a very average bunch. We get a little bump in swell to 3ft from the SSW, still with that long 15-second period. The wind is light and offshore, which is a major positive. For a moment it could clean up, but the combined energy is still only 320 (moderate). It's a long period groundswell, so it might offer a few longer waits between sets at this breakwater, but the size is just too small for any real power.
After that, we slip back into poor conditions. The swell drops and the wind goes cross-onshore again. There's a run of a few days through the middle of the week with nothing to recommend.
Looking further out, around Friday the 14th of August, the combined energy starts to climb. The Saturday morning, the 15th of August, shows a 3ft swell from the SSW with a 16-second period and light offshore winds. The combined energy is 442 (strong), but conditions are still marked as marginal. The weekend of the 16th and 17th holds onto that 2-3ft range, but the wind is mostly cross-onshore, keeping it from being a proper standout.
Overall, it's a tough forecast. The energy is low, and the wind windows are narrow. If you're desperate for a paddle, Sunday morning the 9th is your best bet, but keep your expectations in check. This is a quiet spell, and it may not stay this way for long, but for now, the ocean is having a rest.
