The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it’s a tough stretch. The pattern is basically flat and weak, with hardly any energy to get excited about. We’ve got a long gap of poor conditions right through the end of July and into early August, so don’t be in a rush to wax up.
Starting off on Sunday the 26th of July, we’ve got a tiny 1 ft swell from the NE at 8 seconds, but with a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-on breeze from the SSE at 9 mph, it’s messy and not worth your time. The combined energy is a weak 17, so barely a ripple.
Monday the 27th through to the end of the month sees even smaller waves – 0.7 ft or less. There are some clean windows with glassy or offshore winds, like Monday morning with a glassy NNW breeze at 3 mph, but the swell is pathetic. The water’s sitting at 86°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least it’s warm for a float.
The first few days of August bring a slight bump, but it’s still poor. On the 2nd of August, we see a 2 ft to 2 ft swell from the SE, but the period is a terrible 4 seconds – that’s windswell chop, not surf. The combined energy climbs to 28, still weak, and the wind is cross-on from the S at 12 mph, making it choppy and ugly. By the 3rd of August, it’s a bit bigger at 3 ft from the SE, but again with a 5-second period, the energy is only 52 to 53, and it’s cross-on and bumpy. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly.
The rest of the run from the 4th of August onward is a mix of onshore winds and tiny, short-period swells. There’s a slight uptick around the 9th and 10th of August, with 1 ft from the NE and a period of 9 to 10 seconds, giving a combined energy of 39 to 47. That’s still weak, and the wind is onshore from the ESE at 9 mph, so it’s not clean. No real standouts here, folks. This is a quiet period for the area, and it tends not to stay poor for long, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend. Keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change.
Rusty.
