The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get straight into it. I’ll be honest with you, mate – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of flat days ahead, so don’t go getting your hopes up for any kind of decent wave until the very end of the forecast period.
The only break worth a mention across the whole 16-day window is Dogmans (Rincon). It’s a reef setup, fairly consistent when there’s swell, and it really wants the swell coming from the WNW. The problem is, there’s barely any swell at all until the very last day.
From Thursday 23rd July right through until the morning of Thursday 6th August, it’s basically a write-off. The combined energy of any swell directed here is sitting at a measly 0 to 4 (weak energy) – that’s just wind ripples and tiny slop, nothing you’d even bother paddling out for. The water temperature is sitting at about 84°F, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year (anomaly of 1°F), so at least a dip won’t be cold.
We finally see a tiny pulse on the afternoon of Friday 7th August. A small swell shows up from the NNE at 1 ft with a period of 7 seconds – short-period stuff, so it’ll be a bit weak and crumbly. The combined energy finally climbs to 19 (weak energy), which is still tiny but it’s the best we’ve seen. The wind will be blowing cross-offshore from the ENE at 12 mph, so the surface will be clean. It’s not going to be a classic by any stretch, but if you’re desperate for a滑水, it’s your only shot.
That’s about it. The rest of the window is flat. No standouts, no gems. Sometimes the ocean just goes to sleep.
Rusty.
