The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the beach. Let's be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. The only real glimmer of hope is right at the very end of the window.
We're looking at a long, dry stretch here. From now right through to the 22nd of August, there's just nothing worth wetting your wetsuit for. The swell is tiny, the winds are messy, and it's all just a whole lot of "poor surf conditions." It's a proper blank run for Fortunes Rocks Beach.
There's a little pulse of energy showing up on the Saturday afternoon of the 22nd. The swell is coming up to 6ft from the SE, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined wave energy is a solid 240 (moderate energy), which is the most we've seen in the whole forecast. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the WNW, which is a major positive. Those waves will be clean and lined up. But, that 6ft is heading into the "a bit big for beginners" territory, and the short period means it'll be a bit dumpy and fast. It's a sandbar, so it's exposed to the swell, but with that short period it might be a bit of a closeout. Still, if you're an intermediate who's been waiting for *anything*, this is your one shot. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
The day after, on the 23rd, the swell drops back down to 3ft, but the wind swings onshore and kills it.
So, here's the bottom line: the only standout, the only red dot on the calendar, is Saturday afternoon, the 22nd of August. It's not a classic, but it's the best we've got. Don't expect much, and you might be pleasantly surprised.
Rusty.
