Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fortunes Rocks Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about this spot. Fortunes Rocks Beach is a sandbar setup that’s fairly consistent, but right now, it’s like a ghost town for surf. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it.
The whole 16-day window is a real struggle. We’re looking at a long, dry gap with no real surf to get excited about. The first hint of anything comes on Thursday, July 9th, with a weak 3ft swell from ESE at 8 seconds, but it’s crossed up with a SW breeze in the morning and turning choppy by afternoon. It’s a pure miss. The combined wave energy is a weak 95 in the morning, barely a ripple.
Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th are even smaller, with tiny 2ft and 1.0ft swells, and the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore. The energy drops into the 20s and 30s – it’s flat, plain and simple.
You’d think mid-week might bring a pulse, but no. Tuesday the 14th sees a bump to 4ft from the SSW, but the period is a short, weak 6 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore, making for a messy, choppy scene. The energy hits 122 (moderate), but the quality is just poor. It’s the kind of day that looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The second week is a washout. There’s a tiny window of clean conditions on the 16th and 17th, with some glassy mornings, but the swell is laughable – 1.0ft to 3ft from the wrong directions. The 17th morning is glassy with a 1ft swell, but it’s from SSE with a 5-second period, offering zero drive. The energy is 24.
Honestly, there are no standout days. No standouts at all. For a break that’s fairly consistent, this is a cruel run of luck. Keep your board in the car and hope the forecasts change. This is a write-off until further notice.
