The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening around Damneck Naval Base.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty darn flat. The first real chance of a paddle doesn’t come until Saturday, August 8th, and even that’s a small one.
The water temp is sitting at a warm 79°, which is right on the money for this time of year. Nothing unusual.
Here’s the rundown. From Thursday through Friday, it’s all tiny, weak, and messy. Waves are around 2 to 3 feet, with short periods and cross-off winds that aren’t helping. The combined energy is weak, between 21 and 33. You’re looking at a flat ocean with some ripples.
Then we get a little pulse on Saturday morning, August 8th. It’s still small, about 2 feet, but it’s coming from the ESE with an 8-second period, and the wind is offshore from the SW. That’s a clean combo. The wave energy bumps up to a moderate 46. It’s surfable, but it’s really ordinary. This is the best of the whole run, but keep your hopes in check. The swell direction matches the optimum for this spot, and it’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break. Crowds are possible, though.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Sunday the 9th has a tiny 1-foot wave with offshore wind in the morning, but the energy is just 23. The rest of the week is a total write-off: tiny waves, cross-shore and onshore winds, and energy levels that barely get out of single digits. A couple of days have a period of 8 or 9 seconds, but the swell height is just too small to matter.
A second tiny window shows up on Monday, August 17th. A morning offshore breeze with 1 feet from the SE, period 8 seconds, energy 24. The afternoon is similar, 1 feet from the SE, period 9 seconds, energy 42. Another ‘surfable but very ordinary’ day. Not worth a special trip.
The end of the forecast, from the 18th onward, is all onshore wind and small, messy chop. Nothing at all.
So, bottom line: if you’re really keen, you might get a couple of small, clean waves on the morning of Saturday, August 8th, and maybe a blink on the 17th. Otherwise, it’s a time to wax your board and wait. It’s a dry spell, but it happens here. Forecasts can change, so keep your fingers crossed.
Rusty.
