Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fortunes Rocks Beach over the next 16 days.


Alright, here’s the same story in feet and miles per hour for those who think that way. It’s a rough run for Fortunes Rocks Beach over these next 16 days. Honestly, there’s not a single session I’d call good. There’s a big gap of flat-to-weak junk from the outset, with waves barely reaching 1 to 4 feet and the wind messing it up most of the time.

The first chance to paddle out for anything even borderline rideable comes on Wednesday July 15th, but it’s tiny: only 2 feet from the SE, with a short 8-second period. The wind swings cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but the combined energy is weak (around 65). Thursday July 16th is about the same – 2 feet, clean but very ordinary. That’s the best little window for someone who just wants to get wet.

Then it goes quiet again until Tuesday July 21st, when the swell jumps to 5 to 6 feet from the south, but with a super short 6-second period. The wind stays onshore from the SSE, so expect lumpy, choppy surf. Combined energy hits moderate levels (219 to 290). This is strictly for experts – 6 feet onshore at a beach break is heavy.

Wednesday July 22nd stays similar with 5 to 5 feet, still onshore, still short period. Thursday July 23rd drops back to 3 feet with a cleaner cross-offshore wind from the NE, but again, just ordinary.

No standout days here. Thursday July 16th is the cleanest but puny option; Tuesday July 21st has size but ugly wind. Most of this forecast is better suited for kite surfing than paddling in.

Water temp on July 8th was 65°F, a touch warmer than normal for the season.
