Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Right, I’ve had a look at what’s on the table for Gold Beach/South Park/Hunter Creek over the next couple of weeks, and truth be told, it’s a pretty grim run. The forecasts are stubbornly consistent – and not in a good way. For the entire 16-day window, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. There’s no standout day, no sneaky window of clean waves, nothing. We’re looking at a solid fortnight of cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, mostly from the NNW, with a fresh to strong breeze blowing almost constantly. That’s going to keep things lumpy, choppy, and messy.
The water temp is sitting at 51°F right now, which is a full 5°F colder than average for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so expect a proper chill even before you factor in the wind.
Now, the swell does show some pulses. Early on, around July 5th and 6th, we see waist-to-chest high NW swell (4 ft to 6 ft) with moderate combined wave energy (383 to 703). But the wind is just ruining it – cross or cross-onshore, 16 to 19 mph, making for a lumpy, choppy mess. Not worth paddling out for. Later in the month, around July 17th to 19th, the swell picks up again, with chest-to-head high NW waves (5 ft to 6 ft) and stronger energy readings (677 to 948). But again, the wind stays cross or cross-onshore, and those stronger breezes (19 to 28 mph) mean it’ll be blown out and bumpy.
The only slight change in direction comes mid-week July 7th and 8th, when we get a long-period SW groundswell (18 to 20 seconds) but it’s tiny, only 2 ft to 3 ft, and still with onshore wind. The period is long, but the size is just not there to make anything of it.
So honestly, there’s no surf to get excited about. If you’re desperate for time on the water, this kind of setup – exposed beach and reef with strong cross-shore winds and decent swell – is actually more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. But for the surfer looking for clean waves? Wait for a change in the forecast.
