Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – we’ve got a long stretch of flat water ahead, so don’t rush to wax up your board.
The first bit of action doesn’t show up until Tuesday, July 21st. That’s more than a week away. You’ll be looking at a north swell around 6 ft. The wave energy is moderate (217), but the wind is blowing onshore from the NNE at 15 mph, so it’s gonna be a choppy, sloppy mess. The period is short too, just 6 seconds, so no real power.
The only time this whole outlook looks any good is the morning of July 22nd. The swell comes in from the north at a solid 7 ft, and the energy jumps up to 594. The big difference is the wind – just a light breeze from the east at 10 mph, giving us a light cross-onshore with small ripples on the surface. That’s the cleanest conditions we’ll see. The period is still short at 8 seconds, so the waves will be a bit fat, but at least it’s not a washing machine. This is expert territory only, no question.
After that, the wind gets nasty again. The 23rd drops to 5 ft and the wind is onshore. By the 24th, the swell is tiny and the wind is howling at 30 mph from the west. Forget it.
The rest of the month is flat. The water temp is 66°F, which is just under 7°F warmer than what’s normal for this time of year. That’s a big anomaly, but it doesn’t help the waves.
So, bottom line: one week of nothing, then a few days of messy north swell, with one cleanish morning on the 22nd for the experts. The rest is a no-go.
Rusty.
