The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Devonport Rivermouth.
First things first, I’ve got to be straight with you: the next 16 days are a proper struggle for this spot. We’re looking at a long, dry run with very little happening. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 28th of July, and even then, it’s a messy one. That’s a big gap with no real recommendations.
The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
So, here’s the rundown. For the first few days, it’s all small and weak. Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th have tiny 3 ft to 3 ft swell from the WNW, with a short period of 5 seconds and weak energy. The wind is cross-off or cross, so it’s clean, but there’s just no power. It’s a flat spell.
Tuesday the 28th of July is the only real standout, but it’s not for everyone. The swell jumps up to 8 ft to 10 ft from the NNW/NW, with a period of 8 seconds and strong energy. That’s a lot of water. The wind is a fresh cross-onshore though, making it lumpy and poor quality. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions” for a reason. This size is only for experienced surfers, and the wind is going to make it a battle. Honestly, with that much wind and size, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Then things drop off a cliff. From Wednesday the 29th of July right through to the end of the forecast on Monday the 10th of August, it’s mostly tiny, weak, and inconsistent. We’re talking ankle-snappers at best. There are a few glassy mornings, like Friday the 31st of July and Thursday the 6th of August, with winds going glass or light, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3 ft. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
The 4th of August (Tuesday) has a brief moment with 8 ft to 12 ft swell from the NNW/NW, and with a cross-off wind, it cleans up nicely. The energy is huge. But the wave comment warns that it’s predicted to be too big for this break. So, for the absolute experts only, and even then, it’s a big ask.
So, to sum it up: the best, and really only, window is Tuesday the 28th of July, but it’s a rough, windy, expert-only session. The 4th of August is a massive swell but likely too big for the spot. The rest of the time is flat. It’s a tough outlook.
Rusty.
