Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for Emma Wood State Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at this forecast and it’s a bit of a heartbreaker. Right now and for most of the next 16 days, we're dealing with some real small, weak stuff. The wave energy is low, mostly hanging around the 100 to 200 mark (moderate to weak), and the winds are coming in cross-on or onshore, which is just chopping up what little bump there is. The swell is tiny – we're talking 1ft to 2ft from the SSW with a solid period, which for a beach and reef setup like this means it's long-period groundswell but just not enough size to do anything with. It's basically flat to knee-high junk. There’s a long stretch here from July 2nd all the way through the middle of the month where I just can’t get excited about a single session.
Now, there is one small blip on the radar. Keep your eyes on Wednesday, July 15th. That afternoon, the wind is forecast to drop to absolutely glassy, and we see a 2ft swell from the West. It’s still tiny and the energy is weak (100), but glassy conditions are a massive positive. It’ll be crumbly, clean, and small – maybe a fun little longboard session if you’re desperate. But let’s be real, it’s for the dedicated soul surfer, not a standout day. The water temp is a touch above normal at 63° F, so it’s comfortable without a big suit. Don't expect any crowds worth worrying about given the quality, but it can get a few folks out there sometimes.
The rest of the second week? More of the same. Small W and SSW pulses, mostly cross-on breezes. Nothing to write home about. It’s a lean forecast for Emma Wood.
Rusty.
