The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here for the lowdown on this stretch.
It’s a pretty quiet spell for Gold Beach/South Park/Hunter Creek. The swell energy is moderate, all in the three-digit range, but nothing to write home about. Water temp is about average for the time of year.
The first real chance comes Sunday morning, the 6th. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the SW with a 15-second period that’s got some real groundswell grunt. The wind is glassy, and conditions are looking good. It’s not big, but it’s clean and the energy is there (440). This is a solid choice for a longboard or a fun mid-length.
Then it gets patchy. Monday and Tuesday are pretty poor with choppy, onshore winds and dropping swell. Wednesday the 9th is still iffy, but Thursday the 10th shows a little more life with a 2ft to 3ft SW swell, period up to 17 seconds, and light cross-shore winds. The energy is moderate (593-641), and it’s cleaner than the days before.
The real standout is Friday the 11th. The morning starts with a 2ft SW swell, 16-second period, and a cross-off wind from the South. Then the afternoon goes absolutely glassy with zero wind. The energy is solid (519-511), and the conditions are clean. This is the best session on offer – a proper glassy, long-period groundswell that’ll wrap in nicely. Crowds are often here, so be ready for company.
Saturday the 12th is still decent in the morning with glassy conditions and a 3ft SW swell, but the afternoon gets a light cross-on breeze. Not a dealbreaker, but Friday is the one to aim for.
After that, things drop off again. The second week is weaker. The swell pulses are shorter period and smaller, with a lot of onshore wind. The exception is Tuesday the 15th afternoon, which goes glassy with a 3ft NW swell, but it’s short period (8 seconds) – not much punch. Wednesday the 16th is glassy all day but the swell is tiny, 2ft to 3ft, and very weak energy (191-270). For the next week, it’s a waiting game.
So, the pick of the period is Friday the 11th, with the glassy afternoon session being the absolute best. Sunday morning the 6th is a close second.
Rusty.
