Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here.
First up, looking at the whole picture, it’s a quiet stretch for Fortunes Rocks Beach. The swell just isn’t showing any real life for the first week and a half. Most days are flat or offering up weak, short-period junk with onshore or cross-onshore winds messing it up. You’re looking at a long gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
Tuesday, July 7 and Wednesday, July 8 bring tiny swell – 1 ft to 4 ft – but it’s all onshore wind, poor surf, and the energy’s weak (24 to 322). The combined energy on Wednesday afternoon hits 322, but with an 8 second period from the SE and southerly wind, it’s just choppy slop. Not worth your time.
Thursday, July 9 stays poor, with cross-onshore winds up to 16 mph and lumpy conditions. The energy drops back to the double digits. Friday, July 10 is similarly flat and poor. Saturday, July 11 and Sunday, July 12? Same story – tiny swell, 1 ft, and winds are either on or cross-on. The water temp anomaly isn’t flagged, so it’s about average for this time of year.
The gap stretches all the way through to Friday, July 17. That morning finally sees a light offshore wind from the north, 3 mph, with 2 ft swell from the ESE at a 7 second period. Still just “surfable but very ordinary” – energy’s 84. But wait for that afternoon: a bump in swell to 5 ft from the SSE, 6 second period, with a light cross-offshore from the west at 6 mph. The combined energy hits 231 and it’s reading “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the standout. It’s a sandbar break, fairly consistent, but it’s likely to get busy since crowds are sometimes a thing. This one’s for the intermediate crew – 5 ft is manageable but not for beginners. The wind should keep it clean.
Saturday, July 18 drops right back off – onshore winds, smaller swell, back to poor conditions. The next couple of days offer glassy mornings (July 19, Sunday morning: 2 ft, glassy with NE 3 mph) but it’s tiny and weak. Then Monday, July 20 morning has a light cross-offshore but again small.
Overall, the only real window to get wet is Friday, July 17 afternoon. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off. It’s a long quiet spell. That’s how it goes sometimes here.
Stay tuned, forecasts can shift.
Rusty.
