G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – for the next 16 days, Fingal Point and Beach is mostly gunna be a tough watch. The first few days are a write-off with tiny, messy swell and cross-shore winds, nothing worth paddling out for.
Then things get interesting. Wednesday afternoon the 8th of July, a solid 10ft pulse from the SE rolls in with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a hell of a lot of energy (1,942 combined) and it’s going to be pumping, but it’s also a bit on the big side for the average punter – really one for the experienced crew only. The wind is moderate cross-shore, so it won’t be perfect, but the size will be there. That same afternoon, the water temp is about average for this time of year.
After a small window of clean glass on Saturday morning the 11th of July with 5ft SE swell, the standout is Sunday the 12th of July. That’s your best bet. Morning has a clean 4ft SE swell with a 11-second period, light offshore wind from the WSW, and some clarity in the sky. The afternoon gets even better – glassy conditions with a light easterly, 4ft SE swell, same solid period. Combined energy is moderate (341 and 268). Crowds can be a factor at Fingal Point sometimes, but the quality on offer makes it worth the company. That’s the pick of the whole outlook.
From Monday the 13th, the surf drops away fast into tiny, weak stuff for the rest of the week. There’s a gap of almost no worthwhile surf until Sunday the 19th of July. On that morning, a quick spike of 5ft from the NE with a short 6-second period and clean cross-offshore wind from the NNW shows some promise (334 combined energy), but the short period means the waves won’t have much grunt – more of a fun-size option for a cruiser session.
After that, the final few days thin out again. The long-range stuff on the 20th is ordinary at best, and by the 22nd it’s flat and glassy – not surfable.
So to wrap it: Sunday the 12th of July is the standout. Clean, consistent, and manageable size. Don’t sleep on that glassy afternoon session.
Rusty.
