The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Fort Cronkite Rodeo Beach.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch ahead. We're looking at a solid run of poor surf conditions for the next couple of weeks. The water right now is a warm 61°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing your nuts off.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't come until Sunday, the 17th of August. There's a short window on Monday morning, the 17th of August, that could be a sneaky winner. The wind is forecast to be glassy, and that's a major positive. We'll have a small 3ft groundswell rolling in from the west with a period of 13 seconds, giving it a moderate combined energy of 534. It's not going to be big, but glassy conditions at a spot that's sheltered from the swell can make for some clean, fun walls. This is a beginner-friendly break, and the size is perfect for a longboard or a fish. The crowds are something to be aware of, as they can be *sometimes* an issue here, so get there early.
The rest of the outlook is pretty grim. The afternoon of the 17th turns cross-onshore and choppy, and the days before that are all onshore wind, messy, or just plain poor. For the most part, the setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, there you have it. Not a classic run of form, but if you're keen, set an alarm for the 17th of August.
Rusty.
