Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Hey folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for Gold Beach/South Park/Hunter Creek. The water’s running at 52° which is much colder than normal for this time of year, so bring a good hood if you’re even thinking about getting in.
The whole 16-day outlook is a write-off for any decent surf. We kick off Friday the 3rd of July with a tiny 2ft SW groundswell (period 15 seconds), but it’s a mess – cross-on wind at 19 mph and lumpy, choppy conditions. That combined energy (364) is weak anyway. That same pattern just repeats day after day: the wind never gets right, staying cross or cross-on from the NNW, and the swell stays small and weak. Saturday the 4th sees maybe 5ft of junky NW windswell with a 6-second period, but it’s crossed-up and messy. Even the better pulses – like Monday morning the 6th with a 2ft, 21-second SW groundswell (combined energy hitting 740) – are completely ruined by onshore wind and chop. There’s not a single session where the stars align.
By the second week, nothing changes. From the 8th through to the 17th, it’s the same story: tiny swells, poor wind, and every single report says “poor surf conditions.” A few days like Saturday the 18th pump a bit more size – 6ft to 7ft of NW windswell – but the period is short (8-9 seconds) and the cross-wind is still fresh, turning it into a lumpy, choppy mess. At those sizes with this wind, this beach and reef setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Honestly, there are no standout days. No surf to chase.
This is a classic blank run for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home.
