The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest right off the bat, we’re looking at a pretty grim run of surf for the next couple of weeks. The models are showing next to nothing worth getting excited about, so don't be holding your breath for any epic sessions.
The first sign of anything surfable doesn't even show up until Sunday, August 9th. That's a long stretch of flat or junk conditions. The water is sitting at 78°, which is a bit colder than what we usually feel this time of year.
Damneck Naval Base is the only spot on the cards, and it’s a tough one. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but it's been flagged as having *poor surf conditions* for nearly the entire forecast. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1.0ft to 3ft, with a short period that just doesn't carry any power. The combined energy is weak, consistently in the double digits (mostly 15-58), barely getting into the moderate range.
The one day that stands out, and I mean the *only* one, is Sunday, August 9th. The morning shows a pulse of 3ft swell from the NNE, but with a period of only 4 seconds, it's going to be a messy, weak wall of water. The wind is offshore from the SW, which is a positive, and it’ll be clean. The combined energy is a modest 42, which is still weak. Don't expect any clean lines or power. It’s just the least bad option on offer. The afternoon of that day fades fast.
For the rest of the run, the wind is all over the place, mostly cross or cross-shore, and the swell is pathetic. You’re looking at a lot of 1.0ft to 2ft slop. The period is often under 8 seconds, which is just windswell. The only time you see a gentle offshore breeze is a few mornings, but with no swell to work with, it’s a complete bust.
If you're desperate, you could try to get a tiny, clean wave on the morning of August 9th, but that's it. This is a classic case of a blank run for this area. The forecasts might change, so don't completely write it off, but for now, leave the boards at home or pick up a different hobby.
Rusty.
