The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
It's a tough one to start with, I'm not gonna lie. Right now, the wave energy is sitting at 1071, which is a solid amount of power behind the swell. But the quality just isn't there. For the first few days, we're looking at a clean, clear sky but the wind is just a bit off, coming from the west and northwest, making it a cross-onshore affair. The waves are small, around 3.3ft to 3.6ft, and despite that long 18 to 19-second period from the southwest, it's just not coming together. The water is sitting at 55.9°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
We're looking at a real dry spell here. From Sunday afternoon the 26th all the way through to the end of the forecast period, the conditions are labelled as poor. The wind picks up, getting stronger and staying cross-shore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and lumpy. The swell size does bump up a bit, hitting 5.9ft by the 9th of August, but with winds howling from the NNW at 18 to 28 mph, it's going to be a messy, blown-out scene. The period also drops right down to 6 to 8 seconds, so it's just short-period, wind-affected junk.
The only spot on the list is Gold Beach/South Park/Hunter Creek, a beach and reef setup. It's a fairly consistent spot, but the wind is just not giving it a break. The optimum swell direction is from the west, but we aren't getting that sweet spot. With the strong winds and the beach component, honestly, this whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the foreseeable future. There's a bit of a spike in energy on the 29th of July, hitting 856, but it's still paired with poor conditions. There's just no standout window to get excited about.
So, I hate to say it, but it's a write-off for the next 16 days here. The conditions are just too poor to recommend a single session. The forecasts can change, but for now, it's a waiting game.
