The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper surf. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, wind-blown dribble ahead. The first real chance of anything decent doesn't even show up until the weekend, and even then, it's nothing to write home about.
The water temp is sitting right around 83.7°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so at least you won't need a wetsuit.
For the first few days, Monday through Wednesday, it's basically flat. We're talking knee-high slop at best. There's a bit of energy showing on Thursday the 7th with a combined energy of 144, but it's coming in as a short-period, onshore windswell, so it's going to be a mess. Not worth the paddle.
The one small window that might be worth a look is early Saturday morning, the 8th. The swell will be a touch over 3.5ft (1.1m) from the ESE, and the wind drops out to glassy. The energy is moderate at 134, but the period is still short at 8 seconds, so it will be a bit soft and crumbly. It's not going to be epic, but it might be the cleanest waves you'll find all week.
After that, it's back to the grind. We're looking at a solid stretch of small, onshore junk from the 9th through the 16th. There's a couple of mornings with offshore winds and clean conditions, but the swell is just not there. We're talking ankle-biters. It's going to be a long week of flat spells and closeouts.
The only other thing I can point to is the very end of the outlook, around the 17th and 18th of August. The winds are forecast to be offshore, but the swell is still tiny at 1.3ft (0.4m). It's a clean, knee-high dribble. Better than nothing, but only just.
Honestly, this is one of those stretches where you might be better off checking the kite forecast. With the onshore winds and lack of any real swell, the conditions look far more interesting for the kites than they do for surfboards.
That's all I've got. It's a waiting game. Keep an eye on the charts, because things can change, but right now, I won't be paddling out for anything more than a sanity check.
