G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming up for Cyrils and Big Left.
We’ve got a real mixed bag ahead, but there are a few sessions that’ll have the stoke levels high. The water’s sitting at 58°F right now, which is about average for the time of year – nothing out of the ordinary there.
The week kicks off proper on Tuesday morning, July 7. Swell is 3ft from the SW with a very long period of 17 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is moderate at 850. Wind is light cross-off from the NE, so expect clean lines. This is a reef set-up, so that long-period swell will really wrap in nicely. Keep in mind crowds are sometimes around, but this morning session is a beauty.
Wednesday morning, July 8 is the standout early call. Swell bumps up to 5ft from the SW, period 19 seconds – that is very long period groundswell. The energy jumps to strong at 2403. Wind is light cross-off from the NE again, making for clean, tidy faces. This is for experienced surfers, as the quality is excellent. Honestly, this is one of the best on offer across the whole run.
Thursday morning, July 9 keeps the run going: 5ft SW swell, 16-second period, moderate energy at 1135. Wind shifts to a light N, cross-off and clean. Another solid session for those who know the reef.
Friday, July 10 is a double-header with both morning and afternoon looking fine. Morning has 5ft SW swell with offshore N wind, strong energy at 1272 and clean. The afternoon stays clean with offshore NNW wind and 5ft swell. Both sessions are excellent for experienced surfers.
Then we hit a rough patch from Saturday, July 11 through the weekend. Strong breeze warnings pop up – 25-28 mph offshore winds from the NNW. While the wind is clean, it’s strong offshore that makes it hard to paddle into. Swell size hangs around 4ft to 7ft, but the conditions are marginal and the scores drop right off. By Sunday, July 12 afternoon, we’re looking at 8ft SW swell with cross-off wind – clean but still tricky.
Monday, July 13 sees a big energy jump. Swell is 13ft from the SW, period 15 seconds, and the combined energy is massive at 11203 – very strong wave energy here. That’s expert-only territory. Wind is cross-off from the W, fresh breeze. It’s clean but this is serious, heavy reef surf. Not one for the faint-hearted.
Tuesday, July 14 stays big: 10ft SW swell, 16-second period, strong energy at 4407. The morning is cross-off and clean, but the afternoon brings rain showers and a cross-shore wind making lumpy chop. Not ideal.
From Wednesday, July 15 through Thursday, July 16, the swell drops a bit. Thursday morning is the pick: 6ft SW, 14 seconds, moderate energy at 1220, cross-off WNW wind keeping it clean. Good for experienced crew.
Friday, July 17 is another clean morning with 7ft SW swell, 15-second period, offshore NNW wind. Energy is strong at 2012. The afternoon stays offshore and clean with 6ft. Both sessions rated as excellent.
Saturday, July 18 fades to 3ft with fresh offshore wind – paddling will be a chore even if it’s clean. Not much to write home about.
Sunday, July 19 picks up again: 6ft SW, 16 seconds, strong energy at 2751, but with strong offshore wind at 25 mph. Clean but hard to get into. Expert paddlers only.
Monday, July 20 sees 10ft SW swell but the period drops to just 8 seconds – that’s short period, so the waves won’t be as well shaped. Cross-off wind but messy.
Tuesday, July 21 is a write-off with strong cross-shore wind and poor conditions.
But hold onto your board – Wednesday, July 22 brings another big one: 12ft SW swell, 16-second period, very strong energy at 8661. This is expert-level, powerful swell with cross-off WNW wind. It’s clean but heavy. If you’re experienced and hungry, this late in the run is worth the wait.
Overall, the standout is Wednesday, July 8 morning – that 19-second period groundswell with clean cross-off wind is the best session of the bunch. Friday, July 10 is a solid second pick with clean offshore wind all day.
Stay safe out there.
Rusty.
