The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a paddle. We’ve got a real stretch of days coming up where the swell is tiny and the conditions are ordinary. The good news is, there’s a little window of something semi-rideable about a week and a half out, but it’s not going to be world-class.
Right now, and through the first week of August, the surf is basically flat. We’re talking ankle-biters and knee-high slop. The energy is weak, barely registering a pulse, and the swell is coming from the NE, which is just not the direction we want at Domes. There’s some glassy mornings, which is nice to look at, but with wave heights mostly under 3 ft, you’ll be doing more floating than surfing. The water temp is running a touch above the usual, sitting at 84° with an anomaly of 1°, so it’s a bit warmer than average for this time of year, but nothing crazy.
Through the weekend and into the middle of next week, there’s a few afternoons with a slight cross-off breeze that might make the surface look clean, but the waves are still tiny and weak. The period is short, in the 4 to 7 second range, so there’s no punch behind it. You’d be scratching for anything.
Now, the one bright spot in this otherwise flat spell is the morning of Wednesday the 12th. The forecast shows the swell bumping up to about 5 ft, with a touch more energy in the water—it’s getting into the moderate range, reading about 169. It’s still on the small side, and it’s coming from the NE, so it’s not the optimum NNW direction we like to see here, but it’s something. The morning looks clean with light winds and the wave period is still short at 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but for Domes, this is about as good as it gets in this stretch. A real lineup of fun-sized waves for beginners to get some practice on, but nothing to get too excited about.
After that, it drops right back off again. The following days see the swell fade to nothing, with the period stretching out a bit but the height just gone. This is a long, drawn-out flat spell, broken by one semi-surfable morning. If you’re desperate, that Wednesday the 12th is your best bet. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty out.
