The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here, giving you the rundown on the surf ahead.
Honestly, the first few days are a bust. You can leave the board on the rack for Sunday and Monday – it’s tiny and weak as dishwater. Water temp’s nothing out of the ordinary for winter.
Come Thursday the 30th of July, there’s a whisper of something – clean and small, but at least the water looks good. Not worth rushing for, though.
Finally, Friday the 31st of July shows some life. 1.6m swell from the SE and a clean offshore wind – First Point will have some rideable waves. It’s a short-period swell, so it’ll be a bit jumbled, but the energy reading (241) is getting there. Not the best shape, but it’s a welcome change after the drought.
Sunday the 2nd of August is much the same – 1.6m from the SE, clean offshore, same short period. It’ll be fun, but don’t expect perfection.
Now for the real highlight: Monday the 3rd of August. This is the one. 1.7m of ESE swell with a period of 12 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The energy is strong at (777), and the wind is a gentle offshore. This is going to set First Point up with beautiful, lined-up waves. It’ll be clean and powerful. That’s your session. But it’s a week out, so keep an eye on it. And yeah, with quality like that and the spot’s reputation, expect plenty of company out there.
After that, the surf fades. Tuesday the 4th of August is small and glassy, under 1m, but clean. Then it’s back to tiny dribble all the way to the end.
So, a slow start, a little pulse around the end of July, a standout Monday on the 3rd of August, and then a tail-off into small conditions. That Monday is the one you want.
Rusty.
