Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at the local forecast for Fishermans (Rhiw).
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim. Honestly, it's a tough run. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves, and most of the time the conditions are just not cooperating. The water is sitting at 62°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only highlight.
The first real chance to get wet is not until the very end of the window. From Tuesday, July 22nd, we finally see a little pulse. The Wednesday morning on the 22nd shows a bit of swell from the SW at 2ft, with a period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is weak (14). The real kicker is the wind – a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the NNW at 9 mph. That'll make the most of the tiny bump. It's still small stuff, but for a spot that's been flat for weeks, that's your best bet. Thursday afternoon on the 22nd also has a crumbly 1ft from the SW with a light cross-offshore breeze.
The rest of the period is a write-off. We're talking about days on end with zero to 0.3ft surf. Even the slightly stronger winds in the second week, like the 9-12 mph cross-offshore breezes, are blowing over flat water. It's a proper blank run. For a spot like this, it's normal to have these quiet spells, but it doesn't make it any easier to swallow.
If you're desperate, the early morning of the 22nd is your only real shot. Otherwise, it's time to find something else to do. The little bumps we get just don't have the size or energy to be worth a dedicated session.
Rusty.
