The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the pipe for Dogmans. Honestly, it's going to be a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, quiet run where the ocean is just not cooperating.
Right off the bat, the water is sitting at 85°, which is about 2° warmer than what’s typical for this time of year, so it’s pretty average, nothing wild.
The whole 16-day window is basically a flat spell. There is simply no real swell to speak of. From Friday the 7th of August all the way through to Saturday the 22nd of August, the forecast is just one "poor surf conditions" report after another. The wave energy is a big fat zero for most of it, and the biggest swell height we see is a tiny 1ft. There are a few fleeting moments with small, weak pulses—like Wednesday morning the 12th with a 1ft swell from the NNE, but it’s only got a 5-second period. That’s junky, short-period windswill with an energy reading of just 16, which is weak. It's not going to wrap in properly or offer any kind of real ride.
You'll see a couple of glassy mornings here and there, especially around the 13th, 19th, 20th, and 22nd, with light north or northwesterly breezes. But with no swell to push through, those glassy conditions are just a tease. On Saturday the 22nd of August, we do get a glassy calm morning, and a little 1ft pulse shows up that afternoon from the NNE with a short 7-second period and an energy reading of 20. Again, it’s weak and messy.
Honestly, with the combined swell energy never reaching a double-digit value that actually matters, and the longest period we see being a 14-second pulse on the 13th that still only brings 0.3ft, there’s nothing to get excited about. A 14-second period on a tiny 0.3ft wave is just a long wait for nothing. Dogmans is a reef setup that needs a decent WNW groundswell to work, according to its optimum, and we aren't getting anything close to that. For the entire sixteen days, don't bother paddling out. This is one of those stretches where the ocean is having a sleep-in. Keep your eye on the charts—it won't stay this flat forever, but for now, the forecast is what it is.
Rusty.
