The Lowdown
Imperial Version
Alright, let’s talk straight. Fortunes Rocks Beach is lookin’ at a long, slow start. The first real chance to get wet is on Thursday, July 31st, with some small 2ft surf from the SSE, a 10-second period, and a light N wind making it clean. The energy is weak (123), so it’s not a stand-out, just a session to get the kinks out.
We’re gonna have a lot of flat days and tiny, choppy windswell from the south. The water temp is about 63°, which is a bit below average for late July, but nothing too crazy.
The one to circle on the calendar is the morning of Wednesday, August 12th. We’ve got a solid 5ft swell from the SE with a 12-second period, glassy conditions, and the combined energy jumps to 613 (moderate). That’s the best wave energy in the entire forecast window. The wind is dead calm, so it’ll be super clean. The afternoon gets messy with onshore wind and rain, but that morning is the real deal.
Before that, there’s a couple of small, clean days on Monday, August 10th and Tuesday, August 11th, but they’re tiny. The 14-second period on the 10th is a nice long groundswell, but at 2ft it’s barely a ripple.
So, ride it out through the quiet spell. The morning of Wednesday, August 12th is your only real standout. Don’t miss it.
Rusty.
