The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's not beat around the bush: the next couple of weeks at Gold Beach/South Park/Hunter Creek are looking pretty bleak for any decent surf. We've got a solid stretch of nasty, choppy winds that are going to tear up whatever swell tries to roll in. It ain't pretty.
The only real chance of a clean wave is early Wednesday morning, August 5th. The wind is supposed to die off completely and go glassy, with a small 3ft NW swell. It's not big, but that clean, glassy surface is a rare treat. Wave energy is moderate at 253, and the period is short, so waves will be a bit soft, but it's the best we've got. The water is much colder than usual for this time of year at 53°, so bring the thick suit.
After that, we're back to the grind. From Thursday the 6th right through to the 17th, it's a washout. The wind is howling from the NNW, mostly 15-25 mph, and it's cross or cross-on, making a mess of everything. Swell heights are all over the shop, but it doesn't matter as the wind will make it unrideable. We'll see some moderate to strong wave energy, like 296 on the 4th, and up to 517 on the 15th, but with that wind, it's a kite-surfing show, not a paddle-surfing one. The longer period SW swells that show up will just be blown to bits.
The tail end of the window, around Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th, shows the wind easing a bit, but the waves are still just marginal. The swell is mixed, short-period NW and longer-period W, but it's still looking poor. There's just not enough quality to get excited about.
So, bottom line, there is no true standout in this whole 16-day stretch. The only sliver of hope is that glassy Wednesday morning on the 5th. For the rest, you might want to find something else to do. Forecasts can change, but this one looks locked in.
Rusty, out.
