Table - best surf conditions forecast for Gold Beach/South Park/Hunter Creek over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s be real about the next couple of weeks.
It’s a grim outlook. The entire 16-day forecast is a dud, with no good surf on offer. The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until the 22nd of July, and that’s a real stretch. That’s a solid two-week gap of nothing.
The wind is the killer. From Wednesday the 8th onward, it’s a constant cross or cross-onshore breeze out of the NNW, often fresh to strong, just tearing up the ocean surface. The surf quality is marked as poor for nearly every single session.
The water is brutally cold. At Gold Beach/South Park/Hunter Creek, the water temp is 51°F, which is a massive 5°F colder than usual for this time of year. You’ll be needing a hood and gloves.
The swell is small and weak, coming from the SW and WNW, with varying periods. The combined energy is moderate (between 243 and 908) but it’s all worthless with the wind. There is no standout, no hidden gem. The only tiny glimmer is on the morning of Wednesday, July 22nd. We get a marginal 4ft swell from the NW with a short period of 8 seconds, and a light cross-onshore breeze from the NW at 6 mph. It’s a score of 1 out of 10, but it’s the best we’ve got. It’s still choppy, but it’s the least awful option in a terrible run.
This is one of those stretches where the region just isn’t cooperating. The constant wind and poor swell direction mean there’s nothing to chase. Stash the board and wait for a better forecast.
Rusty.
