Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got cookin' at Fortunes Rocks Beach.
Honestly, it’s a pretty tough stretch coming up. We’re looking at a long, lean run with hardly any surf worth paddling out for. The first real chance to even think about it doesn’t come until Friday morning, July 10th, and even then, it’s a struggle.
The pattern for the next week and a half is mostly small, weak, and messy. We’ve got days and days of tiny, short-period leftovers, with a lot of onshore or cross-onshore wind messing things up. There’s a definite gap from Saturday the 11th all the way through to the morning of Wednesday the 22nd where conditions are just poor, with no real recommendation.
Friday, July 10th is the best we've got, which isn't saying a lot. Early morning brings a tiny 2 ft swell from the ESE with a period of just 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (77), so don't expect much push. The real highlight here is the wind. It’s glassy, pretty much nothing from the ENE at 3 mph. That will keep the surface clean. The water’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year at 64°. But with swell that small and that short, you’re going to be scratching for anything decent. By the afternoon, a light cross-off shore (NW at 6 mph) cleans it up further, but the swell drops even more. It’s a micro-surf day.
The only other blip on the radar is Wednesday, July 22nd. The morning shows a bump in size to 4 ft from the SE, with a bit more energy (125) and a clean look with a cross-offshore breeze from the NE at 9 mph. It’s surfable, but still very ordinary. The afternoon gets a bit bigger – 5 ft from the ESE – but the period is still short (8 seconds) and the wind goes light cross-shore. That’s a lot of energy (474) for a beach break, but with the short period, it’s going to be a bit of a close-out mess. This one’s for the experienced crew only if they’re desperate.
So, if you’re jonesing, Friday morning the 10th is your window for some clean, tiny waves. Otherwise, we’re waiting until the 22nd for something with a bit more grunt, but even then, manage your expectations. It’s a quiet period for Fortunes.
Rusty.
