Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the Gold Beach / South Park / Hunter Creek area.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. The water’s sitting at a chilly 51°F which is *much colder than normal* for this time of year – that’s a big anomaly of -5°F, so you’ll want a thick suit.
Right off the bat, from Wednesday the 8th of July all the way through to Saturday the 19th of July, it’s a real struggle. The wind is relentless out of the NNW, mostly cross-on or cross, and it’s blowing between 12 and 25 mph. That’s trashing any chance of clean waves. The swell is all over the place, from 2ft to 6ft, but it’s short-period junk, mostly 8 to 10 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (between 221 and 1273), but it doesn’t matter because the onshore wind has it blown out and lumpy. The wave comments are all “poor surf conditions” with scores of zero. There’s nothing worth paddling out for here for nearly two full weeks.
There is a slight shift around Sunday the 19th of July. The wind finally drops to a light breeze from the WNW at 3 to 6 mph. We’re looking at a cross-on swell of 4ft from the NW with an 8-second period. It’s still a short-period wave, and the combined energy is moderate (480-451). The report calls it “marginal,” but with the wind easing off, the afternoon might offer the cleanest surf of the whole outlook. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only window where you might find a few fun, crumbly waves if you’re not too picky.
Then from Monday the 20th, the wind picks back up into the moderate to fresh range, and we get a spike on the 21st of July with 7ft of NW swell (combined energy 1616), but it’s cross-on and messy at 15-19 mph, so that’s only going to be a blown-out, powerful mess for experts only, and the quality is still poor.
Honestly, the best bet in this 16-day window is that Sunday afternoon, the 19th of July. It’s not world-class, but it’s the only time the wind gives you a break. For everything else, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
