Righto, folks, ol' Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for the local stretch. We've got a bit of a mixed bag coming, but some real magic on the horizon for those who are keen.
Alright, let's dive straight into the nitty gritty. The first thing to note is there's no real surf to speak of right now, the first session is on the morning of Thursday, the 9th. The water temp is sitting at 68°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll want that steamer if you're heading out.
The best of the early action comes on Sunday the 12th at Dongara-Port Denison. This is a reef break, and it's exposed to the west swell. Early morning we've got a solid 8ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 17 seconds. The energy is strong (3233), and the wind is a clean offshore from the ESE. That's a beautiful combo for a Sunday. It's a big swell though, so this is one for the experienced crew only. The water is still a bit chilly, but it's worth it.
The real standout, the one that's got me a bit excited, is blowing up from the following Monday, the 13th. The early morning session at Dongara-Port Denison is looking exceptional. You're looking at a 8ft SW groundswell with a very long period of 19 seconds. The combined energy is massive (6859), and the wind is a moderate offshore from the ESE. This is big, powerful, and clean. If you're an expert, get on it. It's a bit of a crowd magnet, with the spot being "sometimes" busy, so get in early.
The fun doesn't stop there. The following week, we get another big pulse. Look at the morning of Friday, the 24th of July. This is the one. Dongara-Port Denison is set to pump. A 13ft SW groundswell (14 second period) with a gentle offshore from the ESE. The energy is through the roof (7534). This is as good as it gets for the big-wave hunters. It's another one for the experts, but it's clean and powerful. That's the pick of the whole 16-day window.
There's a bit of a lull in the middle of the second week, around the 20th and 21st, with barely a ripple. But then it builds again. The 22nd of July morning has a glassy 4ft SW swell, good for a mellow session.
So, to sum it up: the early pick is Sunday the 12th for the experienced crew, but the absolute standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is the morning of Friday the 24th of July. Expect big, powerful, clean waves. It's a long way out, but the signs are very promising.
This is Rusty, signing off.
