Alright, let’s get into it.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this isn’t the week to be getting amped for a proper session. The whole 16-day run is looking pretty bleak for paddle surfing at Devonport Rivermouth. There’s a bit of a tease on Friday the 3rd of July, but honestly, after that, it’s a long, dry stretch.
We start the outlook on Friday morning the 3rd of July. There’s a pulse of swell coming in at 6ft from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at 941. The wind is a light 6 mph cross-off from the WSW, which will keep things clean. For a short window, the conditions are set for a fun session, but with it being an inconsistent spot and crowds sometimes around, you might have to share the peak. The water temp is 56°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing to write home about there.
But that’s the high point. By Friday afternoon the wind picks up to 16 mph, the swell drops to 3ft, and the quality tanks. After that, we hit a major slump. From Saturday the 4th of July all the way through to Saturday the 11th of July, the waves are tiny, the periods are all over the place, and the scores are a flat zero. It’s just not worth paddling out.
We do see a small bump on Saturday the 11th of July afternoon. The swell comes up to 4ft from the NNW, but with a short period of just 6 seconds, it’s weak and a bit lumpy. Combined energy is 126, and while the wind goes glassy, the wave quality is described as very ordinary. It’s surfable, but it’s not going to get your heart racing.
Beyond that, the rest of the run through to Saturday the 18th of July is a dead loss. Tiny waves under 3ft, inconsistent, and the guidance confirms it’s all poor. You’re looking at over a week of nothing worth chasing. For a point/river setup that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal.
So, if you had to pick the only real standout, it’s that early Friday morning slot on the 3rd of July – the best of a very quiet period. For anything else, you’re better off keeping the board in the car and waiting for a better forecast.
