The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – this forecast for Ekas-Outside is a tough one to get excited about. We’ve got a stretch of days with swell on the table, but the timing and conditions never really come together for a proper session. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
Let’s start with Thursday the 16th. There’s 5ft of SSW groundswell rolling in with a very long 15 second period, giving us a heap of energy (1128). The wind is a cross-off from the SE at 15 mph, keeping things clean, but the tide or something else is making it a marginal call. Friday the 17th is similar, a touch more energy (1713) early with 5ft of SW swell at 16 seconds, but still that cross-off breeze from the SE at 15 mph. Saturday and Sunday hold around 4ft to 5ft of SW swell, periods dropping to 13 seconds, and again, clean but not really firing.
Now, the standout might be Monday the 20th. The swell jumps to 7ft of SW groundswell with a 17 second period, and the combined energy hits 2704 – that’s proper power. But the wind is a stiff cross-off from the SE at 15 mph, and the wave comment still says “marginal.” For a more experienced surfer, that size with that period could offer some longer walls, but it’s a fair paddle and the shape might not be perfect. Tuesday sees the size drop to 6ft, and by Wednesday the 22nd, it’s down to 4ft with energy fading to 732. After that, we really trail off.
From Wednesday the 22nd afternoon right through to the end of the month, it’s mostly 3ft to 4ft of weak SSW or SE swell, with short periods plunging down to 7 or 8 seconds on a few days – that’s messy, small, and not worth paddling out for. The combined energy sinks into the hundreds. Late July, like the 30th and 31st, has a flicker of life with 6ft of SW groundswell at 16 seconds and energy over 2000, but the wind stays cross-off and the call remains marginal.
Look, if you’re keen and you can only pick one window, Monday the 20th is the biggest and most powerful, with that long 17 second groundswell. But with the SE winds not going truly offshore here (optimum is SSW), it’s a gamble. There’s no standout session that screams “go now,” so keep an eye on the wind shifts, because a small improvement in direction could turn one of these days into a good one. For now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
