Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fortunes Rocks Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's look at what Fortunes Rocks Beach has in store for us. I hate to say it, but this is a grim one. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. We're looking at a long stretch of nothing but small, choppy, and generally poor conditions. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that small comfort doesn't help the waves.
Right from the start, Saturday the 11th, it's tiny little 1ft stuff coming from the SE with a short period of 10 seconds. The wind is cross-onshore, making it bumpy and messy. Sunday and Monday are more of the same grovelly junk, with the wind picking up and making things even worse. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Wednesday the 15th where the wind turns cross-offshore and it’s clean, but the swell is still only 2ft with barely any energy (40).
Things get a bit weird further out. On the 21st, there’s a pulse of energy coming in from the SSE with a 9-second period, showing moderate energy (221 in the morning, 139 in the afternoon), but the winds are terrible – either light cross-onshore or straight onshore. It's still a no-go. The only real glimmer of hope comes on Friday the 24th, July. The morning shows a 3ft swell from the SE with a 7-second period and clean, light offshore winds from the N. The combined energy is 89. The models call it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and I'm inclined to agree. It’s your only chance, but you’d be scratching for scraps. After that, the afternoon crumbles with onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms, and the next day on Saturday the 25th, you get a glassy afternoon with a 3ft SSE swell and zero wind, but again, it’s a short-period 6-second swell with moderate energy (133) – it’s surfable but far from a standout.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there’s not a single standout. If you're desperate, that Friday the 24th morning or the Saturday the 25th afternoon might get you wet, but don't expect much. This is just a flat, blown-out stretch for Fortunes Rocks. On the bright side, it tends not to stay this poor for long, so keep an eye out.
Rusty.
