Alright, ol’ mate Rusty here, and I’ve had a proper look at the charts for Fortunes Rocks Beach. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch comin’ up. For the next sixteen days, from the 8th of July right through, there’s just nothing worth paddlin’ out for. Not a single recommendation to wet a line. This is one of those blank runs where the forecast just ain’t got anything for us.
We start off on Wednesday the 8th with a weak 4ft swell from the SE, period a short 8 seconds – that’s windswell, not proper groundswell – and the wind’s blowin’ onshore. Combined energy is weak at 169 (moderate wave energy). It’s poor surf, no question. That pattern sticks around. Thursday the 9th drops to 3ft, still onshore wind, still poor. By Friday the 10th we’re down to a dribbly 2ft, and the energy’s dropped to 59 (weak). Saturday the 11th sees a tiny 1ft wave, period up to 10 seconds, but with a cross-offshore breeze from the NE – clean conditions, but there’s nothing to ride.
We go through a big gap where the swell barely ticks over. Sunday the 12th, Monday the 13th... all tiny, all onshore or cross-on. On Tuesday the 14th the swell bumps up to 5ft from the S, period only 5 seconds, and wind howlin’ onshore at 25 mph – that’s a messy, lumpy mess only good for maybe a kite session, not a surfboard. Combined energy hits 144 (moderate). Still poor.
Into the second week it doesn’t get any better. Wednesday the 15th has a bit of energy (160, moderate), but it’s short-period and onshore. Thursday the 16th offers a clean 2ft wave with a cross-offshore NE breeze, but again, it’s barely a ripple. The rest of the run – Friday the 17th through to Thursday the 23rd – is all sub-3ft slop with onshore or cross-on winds. One morning stands out: Tuesday the 21st of July, 2ft from the S, but the wind goes glassy – WNW at 3 mph. It’s pretty as a picture, clean, but the energy’s only 47 (weak). A longboard might catch a few, but it’s not a session to plan a trip around.
Honestly, this stretch is a bust. Fortunes Rocks Beach (United States) is exposed to the east, and it just ain’t got the angles for this run of weather. Keep an eye on it – forecasts change, and the area tends not to stay flat forever – but for now, find somethin’ else to do.
Rusty.
