The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles for you.
Pretty slim pickings to start. Through the end of July and into early August, it’s mostly flat or blown out with tiny little lumps.
Around Monday the 3rd of August, we start to see some life. That morning at Fingal Point and Beach, we’ve got 6ft of southeast swell with a 12 second period and a solid push of energy behind it (775). Water’s sitting at 69°, which is just normal for the time of year. Winds are light and side-shore, so it’s a bit messy but the size is there. That afternoon keeps similar size at 5ft from the southeast, period around 11 seconds, and energy at 565, but an onshore breeze takes the shine off.
The real head-turner is Tuesday the 4th of August. Morning brings light north-northwest wind, cross-offshore, and clean conditions. Swell is 3ft from the east-southeast, period 11 seconds, with good energy at 243. That afternoon stays clean on a west-northwest breeze, bumping up slightly to 4ft and 275 energy. That’s your call: the most user-friendly, clean surf in the whole forecast.
After Tuesday, it drops off again. Strong south winds and smaller swell take over through the rest of the week. By the 10th of August, a big 8ft to 10ft pulse from the east-southeast rolls in, but it’s coming with onshore winds and rain. That one’s more for the kite crew than surfers.
Bottom line: aim for Tuesday the 4th of August. Everything else is either tiny or blown out.
Rusty.
