Dosim Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for Dosim Beach over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the outlook is grim. We’re looking at a long, dry stretch with barely a ripple to get excited about. The forecast shows a full 16 days from July 27th right through to August 11th, and honestly, there’s no proper surf on offer. The first couple of days are a total write-off: small, weak swell with onshore winds messing things up. The combined swell energy is pitiful, barely reaching 83 (weak energy) on the 27th, and it only gets weaker from there.

The water temperature is sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s not disappointing.

You’ll see a few mornings, like July 31st and August 4th, where the forecast just creeps into “marginal” territory with a score of 1, but that’s being generous. Swell heights are tiny, barely 3 ft on the best of those days, and the period is short, around 6 to 8 seconds. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, so the surface is going to be chopped up and messy. On August 7th and 9th, we get a couple of glassy mornings, but the swell is so small—2 ft and 0.7 ft—that it’s not even worth paddling out for.

The consistent theme here is poor surf quality. The break is exposed to a WSW swell direction, but the swell we’re seeing is mostly from the WNW and NW, so it’s not lining up well. The energy is in the low double digits or single digits for most of the period, which is basically nothing.

For a beginner-friendly spot, this is a total flat spell. If you’re a kite surfer, you might find some interest when the wind picks up to 12 mph from the NW, but for a paddle surfer, there’s just nothing happening. It’s one of those stretches where the ocean goes to sleep. Don’t hold your breath; forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run.

Rusty.
