Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got on the cards.
Fishermans (Rhiw) is our only option here, and to be straight with you, it’s a pretty bleak outlook. For the first few days, we’re not even seeing any decent surf worth paddling out for. From now right through to the end of the second week of July, the waves are just too small or zero, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so the quality is poor. There’s a big gap of days with absolutely no rideable swell on offer.
Honestly, the only faint glimmer of anything resembling a wave is way out in the distance. On Tuesday the 14th of July, we might see a tiny 0.3 ft swell from the W, but don’t get your hopes up. The energy is next to nothing (8), and that long period of 18 seconds is a tease – it's a groundswell, but with virtually no height, it's not going to produce anything you can actually ride. The early morning on the 15th of July is looking glassy calm, which is nice for a paddle, but again, there’s no real swell to go with it.
The water right now is much warmer than normal for this time of year at about 62°. A rare positive, but not much use without waves.
This is a tough stretch. For the entire 16-day window, there is nothing I’d call a standout. It’s a true blank run for Fishermans (Rhiw), and it looks like we’ll be sitting this one out. It tends not to stay this flat forever, but for now, it’s a no-go.
Rusty.
