Alright, let me tell you about Fort Cronkite Rodeo Beach. The whole 16 days ain't giving us much to get amped on. There’s some swell coming through, but the quality is just plain poor. The first week, from now through the 9th, the surf is so bad it’s not worth your time. Small swell with onshore and cross-onshore wind making everything choppy and messy. The water’s at 62°F – that’s a very unusual 7°F warmer than average for July, so you’ll notice that.
Between the 10th and the 12th of July, the swell gets a little bigger, hitting about 7ft from the NW on Friday morning the 10th, with a period around 8 seconds. Short period means not much shape, and the wind is onshore, so it's still sloppy. The energy builds up strong (1360), but it’s just not clean.
From the 13th onward, it drops under 5ft and stays weak, with onshore winds hanging around. There’s no standout day here. With all that onshore wind and the beach/sandbar setup, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Sorry, but this 16-day stretch is nearly a total loss. For this area, that’s a common kind of dry spell. Forecasts can always change though, so don’t lose hope.
