The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Fortunes Rocks Beach.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is a bit of a flat spell for Fortunes Rocks. The period from now until the 22nd of July is mostly a write-off, with near-flat conditions and persistent onshore winds, so don’t expect much. There’s a long gap of very little to no surf before things finally show a pulse.
The first real sign of life shows up on the morning of Tuesday, July 22nd. We’ve got a pulse of swell coming in at 4ft out of the SSE with a period of 10 seconds and a moderate wave energy (331). The wind is offshore from the W, making for clean conditions. It’s marginal, but it’s the first decent window in a while. The afternoon sees the swell drop a touch to 4ft with a cross-shore wind, so the morning is the pick of that day.
The standout window, and the only one I’d really get excited about, is the morning of Tuesday, July 28th. We’ve got a solid 6ft SSE swell with a period of 6 seconds, and the wind is light offshore from the NNW. The energy is moderate (280), and the conditions look clean. That’s your best chance for a proper session. This is a sandbar break, so with that size and a short period, it could be a bit bumpy, but with offshore wind, it’ll be a lot cleaner than anything else on offer. It’s going to be a bigger wave, so this one is for the intermediate crew.
After that, the 29th of July drops back to 2ft with glassy conditions in the afternoon, but it’s a small and ordinary finish to the forecast.
Rusty out.
