The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got one spot on the menu, and honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The first week is mostly about small windows and waiting for the right conditions. The real standout, the one that’s got my heart rate up, is sitting way out at the end of the forecast – a proper big swell event that’s got some serious potential.
Right now, Friday the 31st of July kicks things off with a 7ft southerly swell at Dee Why Point. The water’s sitting at a normal 64°, nothing unusual there. The wind is a cross-off from the SSW at 12 mph, which keeps it clean, but the wave comment says it’s marginal, and the combined energy is a solid 1284 (moderate). It’s not the best, but it’s a start. Saturday the 1st of August looks much better. Morning brings a 5ft SSE swell with a light offshore from the WSW at 6 mph, and then the afternoon goes glassy with an ESE breeze at just 3 mph. The combined energy drops to 367-402, but with clean conditions and that glassy afternoon, it’ll be a fun, cruisy session.
Sunday the 2nd starts with a 4ft SSE swell, but the period jumps to 11 seconds, which is a nice long period groundswell. The combined energy spikes to 723 (moderate). But the wind turns cross in the morning, then onshore from the NE at 12 mph in the afternoon, so it’s a write-off as the day goes on. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are flat and poor, with barely a ripple. The swell drops to 0.7ft by Tuesday, so there’s a real gap there.
Then we get a couple of glimmers. Wednesday the 5th of August morning has a clean 5ft southerly swell with a solid 12 mph offshore from the WSW. The combined energy is 486 (moderate), and it’s clean. Thursday the 6th morning is similar: a 5ft southerly swell with a light offshore from the WSW at 6 mph. These are your best bets for the first week.
After that, it’s a long run of small, poor, and onshore junk from the 7th right through to the 14th of August. Swell heights hover around 1.0ft to 4ft, with mostly cross or onshore winds. There’s a brief moment on the 13th of August afternoon with a glassy 2ft easterly swell, but it’s barely surfable.
Now, here’s the one that’s got my attention. On Saturday the 15th of August, the forecast shows a massive 16ft SSE swell rolling in with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is a whopping 5657 (very strong). The wind is light cross from the north at 6 mph. The wave comment says it might be too big for this break, and honestly, 16ft at Dee Why Point is serious, heavy stuff. This is for experts only. It’s a long way out, so treat it as a promising but uncertain prospect, but if it hits, it’ll be a day to remember. The afternoon brings a 13ft SE swell, but with a 12 mph onshore, it’ll be messy.
So, to wrap it up: the first week has a few clean windows, mainly Saturday the 1st and Wednesday/Thursday the 5th and 6th of August. But the big standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is that Saturday the 15th of August swell. It’s a monster, but it’s for the brave.
Rusty.
