Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
The honest truth is, the next sixteen days are a quiet stretch for Falmouth - Swanpool. There's no surf on offer to start; we're looking at a big gap from now until around the 17th of July and beyond. It’s a real flat spell, and for a spot that’s only fairly consistent anyway, this dry run isn't a massive surprise.
Let’s break it down. From the morning of the 3rd of July right through to the afternoon of the 17th of July, the swell is a whisper. You're looking at nothing more than 0.7 ft at best for the majority of that time, with combined swell energy figures hanging around a very weak (5) to (48) mark. That's not enough to ride. Sure, there are some nice conditions – glassy mornings on the 6th and 8th of July, clean offshore winds on the 4th and 5th – but with no wave to work with, it’s just a pretty water view.
There is a flicker of hope right at the end. On the morning of Saturday the 18th of July, a pulse of 4 ft swell pushes in from the ENE. The combined energy climbs to a moderate (115), which is something. The wave comment says "poor surf conditions" though, and the wind is a moderate cross-shore at 16 mph which will create some chop. It’s a long way out, so treat it as a very uncertain bonus, but it’s the only thing on the horizon that’s even worth a look. It might just be a day for the more experienced crew if it cleans up.
Right now? The boards are staying in the van. We’re in a waiting game.
Rusty.
