The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's happening with your local surf.
Truth be told, the next two weeks are looking pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of nothing happening. This spot is very sheltered, and it shows. From now through to the 2nd of August, the ocean just isn't giving us anything rideable. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is all over the shop, mostly cross or onshore. The combined energy is almost non-existent, stuck below 100 for the entire run. You're looking at tiny, weak slop with no power behind it. It's a real downer.
The only faint glimmer comes on the very last day of the forecast, Monday the 3rd of August. Even then, it's nothing to get excited about. We've got a tiny bump of swell from the NNE, coming in at just 1ft. The period has stretched out to 9 seconds, which gives it a little more shape than the junk we've been seeing. The combined energy climbs to a still-weak 33. The wind is still cross-onshore out of the SSE at 12 mph, so it won't be glassy, but the morning might be a little cleaner than the afternoon. It's not a standout, it's just the only thing on the menu. Even then, with the swell being so small and the direction coming from NNE, which isn't the best angle for Fifth Street, it's a marginal call at best.
To be honest, if you're after something to surf, you're looking at a blank run until the very end, and even that last option is a long shot. For this time of year, a quiet spell like this isn't totally unusual for a sheltered spot like this.
Stay tuned, forecasts change, but for now, it's a bust.
Rusty.
