The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming.
The first few days are pretty much a bust. The swell is small and weak, and the wind is all over the place. The water temp is about 69°, which is normal for this time of year.
The one to really get excited about is Sunday, August 9th. Fingal Point and Beach is the spot. We've got a clean 4ft swell coming from the east, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is a solid 304 (moderate energy), which is the best we'll see. But the key is the wind: it's forecast to be glassy, with a light NNW breeze. That means the surface will be perfect, giving you some really clean, well-shaped waves. It's a point break, so it handles an east swell well. It's a beginner-plus spot, and crowds are only "sometimes" an issue, so you might have a good chance of scoring.
Another one to keep in mind, but it's further out, is the morning of Thursday, August 13th. We've got a 3ft swell from the ENE, with a period of 10 seconds and a combined energy of 204 (moderate). The wind is a cross-offshore from the NW, which will keep the waves clean. It's not as big or as perfect as the 9th, but it's a solid backup.
The rest of the time is pretty average. The swell is small, mostly under 3ft, and the winds are often cross or cross-on, messing up the surface. There are a few mornings with lighter winds, like the 10th and the 15th, but the swell is tiny, so it's a longboard or a cruise kind of day. The 15th of August has a glassy morning with a 2ft swell, but that's about it.
So, it's a quiet stretch overall. The first week is mostly dead, but that Sunday the 9th is a genuine gem. Don't miss it.
Rusty.
