The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this next stretch is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell for any decent waves. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t roll around until Tuesday the 4th of August, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about.
Overall Pattern & The Wait
From now through to Monday the 3rd of August, it’s basically a write-off. We’ve got a consistent run of onshore and cross-onshore winds chopping up what little energy there is. The swell is tiny, with a combined energy (moderate at best, hitting 121 on the 3rd) but the quality is just poor. You’d be fighting the wind more than riding waves. After that, there’s a glimmer on the 4th.
Tuesday the 4th of August – The Only Glimmer
The standout – and I use that term loosely – falls on Tuesday morning. Fortunes Rocks Beach (United States) will see a small 3.3ft SSE swell, with a period of 7 seconds. The key here is the wind: a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the WNW at 3 mph. The combined energy is a modest 117, but the conditions will be *clean*. By the afternoon, it goes glassy with a 3ft swell. For a surfer who just needs a longboard fix and isn’t fussy about power, the Tuesday morning window is your only shot in this entire 16-day outlook. It’s small, but it’ll be tidy. The water temp is about average for the time of year at 63.9°.
The Rest of the Run
After Tuesday, it’s back to the same story. From Wednesday the 5th onward, we’re looking at mostly onshore slop with waist-high or smaller waves. The combined energy drops right off, often below 50. A couple of mornings around the 11th to the 13th show clean, cross-offshore wind, but the swell is tiny – 2ft at best – and the period is short. The morning of Thursday the 13th has a glassy 4.3ft SSE swell, but that’s still a very ordinary wave. There’s just not enough consistency or power to get excited about anything beyond that first Tuesday.
Straight up, this region is going through a flat spell. We’ve got one clean, small day on the 4th for the patient surfer. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.
