The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Fortunes Rocks Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough start. We've got a long stretch of flat or junk surf ahead. The first real chance of anything ridable won't be until the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August. That's a solid two-week wait from the start of the outlook, with a whole lot of nothing in between.
Before that, the best we see is a tiny 2ft SSE swell on Friday the 31st of July, but it's got a weak period of 10 seconds and the wind is a cross-off from the NW, which is a decent direction. It's surfable but very ordinary. The rest of the first week and into the second is a write-off: tiny swells, onshore winds, and not enough energy to get excited about.
The stand-out, and really the only thing worth looking at, is the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August. We'll see a clean 4ft southerly swell with a short period of 6 seconds rolling in. The combined wave energy is moderate (116). The real kicker is the wind – a glassy, dead calm from the east. That means the surface will be like a mirror. It's a sandbar break, so the short period will keep it from walling up too much, offering some fun, punchy little waves. It's not a huge day, but it's the only clean window we get.
The morning of Thursday the 13th of August is worth a mention too, with a 3ft SSE swell and glassy conditions again, but it's smaller and the energy is weak (68). It's a consolation prize.
For the rest of the run, there's simply nothing to recommend. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, or both. With the combined energy mostly in the double digits or weak triple digits, it's a flat spell. For a beach break like this, it's a normal, quiet period where the ocean just goes to sleep.
Be patient, wait for the 12th, and if you see a ripple before that, don't believe it.
Rusty.
