The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – looking at the forecast for Fortunes Rocks Beach over the next 16 days, it’s a tough watch. This stretch is almost entirely a write-off. There are no standout sessions, no hidden gems, just a long, flat, and choppy run. We’re talking major gaps here; from now through to the 9th of August, it’s a grim slog of poor conditions. After that, we get a couple of tiny windows that are barely surfable, but nothing to get excited about.
Let’s start with Friday the 31st of July. Morning shows some hope with cross-offshore wind from the W at 3 mph, bringing a clean little 2 ft SSE swell with a period of 10 seconds. The combo energy is a measly 106 (moderate wave energy). It’s surfable but very ordinary. The water’s sitting at 64°F which is bang average for this time of year. That’s about the best it gets all outlook. By afternoon, the wind swings S at 9 mph and it turns into a messy cross-onshore, ending any fun.
From Saturday the 1st of August right through to Sunday the 9th of August, it’s a desert. The swell tries to push up to 3 ft on the morning of Tuesday the 4th with a 7-second period, but the wind is cross-shore and choppy, and the score is a zero. Every day brings onshore slop, tiny swell, or glassy conditions with waves so small they’re not worth paddling for. Even the glassy morning on Wednesday the 5th of August only has 1 ft of swell – that’s barely a ripple.
Finally, on Sunday the 9th of August, the afternoon goes glassy again with ESE wind at just 3 mph, and we see 3 ft of SSE swell with a 6-second period. The energy reads 80 (weak). It’s a surfable wave but very ordinary. Then on Monday morning the 10th of August, it’s back to poor conditions with cross-onshore wind. Tuesday morning the 11th of August offers a brief moment of clarity – glassy conditions with N wind at 3 mph, 2 ft SE swell at 8 seconds. Energy is 62 (weak). Again, very ordinary.
Honestly, if you’re looking to paddle, this is not your window. The setups here are mostly beach break, and with the persistent onshore flow and weak, short-period swell, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this poor forever, but right now, leave the boards in the car.
Rusty.
