Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fortunes Rocks Beach over the next 16 days.
Hey, it’s Rusty again. Let’s talk about Fortunes Rocks Beach in terms you can feel.
Staring down a long, flat spell here. For the first nine days, through to late on July 21st, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. Tiny swell, crappy winds – just a total write-off. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 65°, but that’s about the only upside.
Finally, on Sunday afternoon, July 21st, we get a pulse. A SSE swell at 6ft with a 7 second period, carrying moderate energy (355). The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it’s not clean. The next day, Monday the 22nd, brings the biggest push: a 8ft SSE swell, still short-period at 7 seconds, but the energy jumps up to 574 (strong). The wind goes light and cross-shore. This is the best you’ll see, but with that short period at a beach break, it’ll be lumpy and prone to closing out. Might be a better day for the kite crew than the surf crew.
After that, it’s right back to tiny dribble and onshore junk for the rest of the run. Combined energy readings drop into the teens and twenties – that’s weak. Nothing else stands out as a good bet.
Only a slim window around the 21st and 22nd of July offers any hope, and it’s a long way off, so treat it as promising but uncertain. A long stretch of nothing, but the forecast can always shift.
Rusty.
