The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next 16 days at Fortunes Rocks Beach.
To be honest, it’s a rough outlook. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions with no real standouts. There’s a big gap from now until the morning of July 23rd where there’s just no surf worth mentioning.
The only session that’s barely surfable is the morning of July 23rd. We’ve got a light northeast wind blowing offshore, so the surface will be clean. The swell is a weak 3ft from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is moderate (117). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The crowds are only sometimes a problem, mostly because it’s not great.
The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, at 65°F.
After that, the morning of July 27th might give you a clean, tiny 3ft wave from the SSE, but with low energy (64) and a short period (6 seconds). It’s not much.
The rest of the window is a total write-off. You’ll see bigger swell, up to 6ft or even 7ft around the 18th and 21st of July, but the wind is howling onshore. At a beach break like this, that’s just a messy, blown-out situation. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
If you’re itching to get wet, the 23rd is your best bet, but keep the expectations low.
Rusty.
