The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty bleak stretch ahead for the Gold Beach area. The whole 16-day window is looking tough, with no real standout session to get excited about.
We kick off on Saturday the 25th with a bit of swell, but it's nothing to write home about. We’re looking at a 3ft SW swell with a really long 21-second period, which sounds promising, but the energy is only moderate (944). The problem is the wind is a light cross from the S, messing with the surface. The water is sitting at 55°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. It’s just a marginal, questionable surf.
Sunday the 26th is a similar story. The swell picks up a fraction to 4ft from the SW, with a 19-second period and moderate energy (1071). Wind swings to a light WNW cross-on, which is a bit better, but still not clean. The wave comment says it all – marginal conditions.
From Monday the 27th onwards, it goes downhill fast. The winds get stronger and stronger, mostly from the NNW and NW, blowing cross-on or cross, and the swell quality just tanks. The wave comments start screaming "poor surf conditions" from Tuesday the 28th all the way through the end of the forecast. The swell sticks around 2ft to 5ft, but with these fresh to strong breezes (15-28 mph) and very short periods (7-8 seconds), the ocean is just a lumpy, choppy mess. The combined energy drops to weak levels (229-288) or stays stubbornly low in the moderate range (517 max).
There is a little spike on Sunday the 2nd of August with a 6ft NW swell, but it’s got a terrible 7-second period and the wind is a strong 28 mph cross-shore. That’s just a washing machine, and honestly, with that wind and a beach-and-reef setup, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The breaks are fairly consistent in this area, so it tends not to stay poor for long, but this run is a proper blank. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
