Devereux Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Imperial Version

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the noise on this one – it’s going to be a lean 16 days for Devereux. There’s no proper standout, and the first week is a real struggle.

The first thing worth a look is Tuesday morning, July 21st. We’ve got a 2ft SW swell, but the direction isn’t perfect. The water is a balmy 68°, which is a full 5° warmer than it should be – that’s a real anomaly. The wind is light and straight onshore from the SW. The combined energy is moderate at 384. It’s a tough sell, but it’s the best we’ve got to start.

From July 22nd through the 25th, it’s mostly cross-onshore winds and poor, choppy surf. The swell stays small, around 2ft to 2ft, but the wind just ruins it.

The best window, if you can call it that, is the mornings from July 24th to the 28th. The swell is still tiny, 1ft to 3ft, from the SSW. But the wind goes glassy or light offshore. The period is incredibly long, up to 24 seconds. That’s a serious groundswell, which means plenty of energy for the size, but at a reef and point setup, it can make the waves a bit too straight. The combined energy is moderate to strong (575 to 841), which is impressive for such a small wave height. The morning of July 28th (Tuesday) is the pick of the litter – the energy is highest and the wind is light. If you’ve got a log and a lot of patience, it’s your only real shot.

After that, it’s all downhill. The energy drops off into the 80-190 range by the end of the first week of August, with weak, short-period windswell and choppy winds. It’s basically flat.

So, the long and short of it is: a quiet, drawn-out period with very little to get excited about. The only glimmer is those glassy, long-period mornings at the end of July. It’s a waiting game, and things can always change, but don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
