The Lowdown
Imperial version
G’day, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the next 16 days for Dumps (Brandon Bay), and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The first week and a half is mostly tiny, with only a few windows of surfable but very ordinary conditions. The real interest shows up later, but it comes with baggage.
We kick off Tuesday, July 14 with a morning session that is clean – light offshore wind from the ENE at 9 mph – but the swell is a meagre 1.6 ft from the west, period 10 seconds, and combined energy is weak at 77. Water temp is 64°, which is a solid 4.3° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s unusually warm. Still, the waves are small and unremarkable. Tuesday afternoon stays clean with lighter wind but still only 1.6 ft. Wednesday through to Monday July 21 sees the swell drop even further – 1.0–1.6 ft, mostly poor conditions and scores of zero. There’s a brief moment Thursday afternoon July 16 with glassy conditions but only 1.3 ft – not worth paddlin’ out for. The gap of really poor surf stretches from July 14 right through to July 24 with barely anything worth reporting.
Now, things get interesting on Saturday July 25. The morning brings a solid pulse: 8.2 ft swell from the WNW, period 12 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell with serious energy (2249). Wind is from the NNE at 9 mph, cross-off, and it’s clean. However, the
