The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – the next 16 days at Gold Beach are a total write-off. I’ve got nothing good to tell you. The finder shows no surf worth paddling out for from Tuesday 14 July all the way through to Wednesday 29 July. That’s a solid two-week-plus gap with zero recommendations. For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a rough run. The wind is almost always cross-onshore or cross, often fresh to strong breeze, leaving the surface choppy and lumpy. Swell heights barely touch 3 ft on most days, with a few pulses around 6 ft but wrecked by nasty NW cross-winds. Even the longer-period groundswells – up to 19 seconds on some days – are wasted because the wind just kills any shape. The combined energy values are mostly moderate (200–800 range) but it doesn’t matter when the conditions are poor. There’s one small glimmer on Thursday 16 July morning with a light WNW wind and an offshore direction, but the swell is only 2 ft and it’s rated marginal, not worth getting wet for. After that it’s all back to rubbish. Honestly, save your energy. The forecast can always change, but as it stands, Gold Beach is a no-go for the whole outlook.
