The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get a look at what’s cooking for Fortunes Rocks Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to get excited about. The first week and a half is basically a write-off, with nothing rideable showing up until Thursday the 30th, and even then, it’s barely a pulse. You’re looking at a gap of about 4 days with no recommendations before we even see a hint of a wave.
The first bit of hope comes on Thursday, July 30th, in the morning. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the southeast with a weak 7-second period and a combined energy reading of just 101 (moderate). The wind is a clean offshore from the northeast at 9 mph, which is a rare and welcome sight. The waves will be surfable, but very ordinary, and you’ll be battling for scraps. Still, if you’re desperate, this is your only window that week.
The following week isn’t much better. We see a slight bump in size on Monday, August 3rd, with 5ft swell from the SSE, but the period is short at 6 seconds and the energy is moderate (142). The catch is the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. That’s not a day for a good paddle, folks. The water temp is a chilly 60°, which is over 4° colder than normal for this time of year – you’ll want a thick suit.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day window comes on Saturday, August 8th, in the morning. It’s not a big swell – 3ft from the SSE, with a 7-second period and a combined energy of 86 (weak) – but it’s the conditions that make it interesting. The wind is dead calm, glassy, and the waves are surfable. It’s still very ordinary, but for Fortunes Rocks, this is as good as it gets. The calm, glassy conditions will make it look a million times better than the size suggests. Crowds are possible here, so get there early if you want a clean one.
Beyond that, the pattern fades back into nothing. From the 9th onward, it’s a mix of onshore wind and tiny, weak swell. The setup is more interesting for a kiteboarder than a paddle surfer on those days.
Keep the faith, but maybe leave the board on the roof for a few more days.
