Table - best surf conditions forecast for Gold Beach/South Park/Hunter Creek over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let's break this down. It's looking real thin for Gold Beach/South Park/Hunter Creek. We've got a long, dry spell ahead.
The start is a washout. From Monday, July 27th, and for the next week and a half, the wind is just wrong. It's cross-onshore or straight cross-shore, churning it all up. The swell is there, maybe 1 to 3 feet, but it's blown out, choppy, and lumpy. The wave energy is moderate at best, but the score is a big fat zero. The setup from Sunday, August 2nd, especially with those 35 to 45 km/h winds, looks more like a kitesurfing zone than a surf break. Everything from then on until August 10th is just messy cross-chop and poor conditions.
The last few days, August 11th and 12th, the swell does try to push a bit more, to about 5 or 6 feet, with a decent chunk of energy behind it, but the wind is still hammering it. It's a shambles.
Honestly, there are no good surf options in this entire 16-day window for this spot. The water's sitting about 56°F, which is normal for the season, but none of it matters when the wind won't cooperate.
