Alright folks, Rusty here. Got a rough one for the Gold Beach zone. Over this 16-day stretch, the surf looks mostly dead. A long spell of bad conditions kicks things off.
We start Monday July 6th, with a NW swell around 5ft, but the wind is a cross-onshore howl from the NNW at 12 mph, making it choppy. The swell energy is high, but the water is much colder than normal at 52°F, more than 4°F below average. The whole first week is a mess – the Gold Beach breaks are exposed but the winds are just wrong, mostly cross-onshore with poor quality. Not a single good session in there.
Things might get slightly less hopeless by Sunday July 19th. We get lighter winds, from the SSW at 6 mph, still cross-on though. The swell is small, 4ft to 4ft from the NW, with a short period of 8 seconds and moderate energy. It’s just a marginal call. That small, short-period NW swell hangs around with light winds into the next Monday and Tuesday, but still nothing I’d call a proper surf day.
Just a quiet, disappointing forecast. Sit this one out.
Rusty.
