The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s happenin’ for Gold Beach/South Park/Hunter Creek over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a rough look for a while. From Sunday the 9th all the way through to Monday the 17th, there’s almost nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for. It’s just cross-shore and cross-onshore wind day after day, with lumpy, choppy conditions and tiny, weak swell. You get a little bump in energy on Wednesday the 12th – combined energy around 452 (moderate) – but it’s a short-period 7-second windswell with strong wind. Total mess.
There’s one small window that might give you a clean wave. On Tuesday the 18th, the wind goes glassy – dead calm – and the ocean turns flat and clean. Swell is small, only 2ft from the SW, with a nice long 14-second period. Combined energy is 225 in the morning, up to 361 in the afternoon. It’s not big, but it’s the only time you’ll see clean surf. Perfect for a longboard session.
After that, from Wednesday the 19th onward, the wind picks back up and the surf gets messy again. By Monday the 24th, the swell gets bigger – 5ft to 5ft from the WNW and NW – but the period drops to 8-9 seconds and the wind stays cross-shore, so it’s really more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle session.
So here’s the takeaway: if you’re lookin’ for a clean wave, Tuesday 18th August is your only real shot. The water’s runnin’ colder than usual for this time of year at 55°F, so bring a thick wetsuit. No true standouts, just one quiet, glassy day that might be worth the wait.
Rusty.
