The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at the next 16 days. Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. The models are showing a real quiet period for Fortunes Rocks Beach, so don't be getting your hopes up for any barrels. We're looking at a long, dry spell with nothing worth paddling out for.
Let's get into it. For Monday the 13th, we've got a weak, short-period 5ft S swell rolling in, but it's getting smashed by a 22 mph cross-on southerly. The wave energy is a measly 147, and it's just a mess – lumpy and poor. The water is 67°, which is about 5° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it's notably warmer than average.
Tuesday the 14th through to the end of the first week, things go flat. We're talking swell heights dropping to 3ft and then down to nothing. Wind is all over the place, but mostly cross or cross-off, so the conditions are clean, but there's just no swell to work with. The energy numbers drop into double digits – 98, 41, 38 – it's weak.
From Thursday the 16th all the way through to Saturday the 26th of July, the swell is almost non-existent. We're seeing heights of 0.3ft to 2ft with almost no energy. The combined energy is barely hitting 20 or 30 most of the time. You'll see some clean conditions with offshore winds on Friday the 17th from the NW, but it's for 0.3ft of swell. That's a lake, not a surf break.
There is a tiny bump around Monday the 20th of July. A 3ft S swell pops up with a 7-second period, and the energy hits 128 – still moderate, but the best we'll see. Problem is, the wind is onshore from the S at 3 mph, and the wave comment says "poor surf conditions." Not a savior, just a slightly less terrible option.
The rest of the second week is the same story. Small, weak swells from the SSE and SE, with onshore or cross-onshore winds. It's a blank run. For a beach break like this, it's normal to have these flat spells. The forecast can change, but for now, leave the boards in the shed.
Rusty, signing off.
