Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s talk feet and Fahrenheit. Harbor Entrance at Eureka is looking bleak for the next 16 days. Water temp’s 53°F—about 3°F colder than usual—so you’ll want a hood.
Starting Sunday July 5: weak NW swell around 5ft, short-period, cross-on breeze, just ugly. The whole first week stays messy with onshore to cross-on winds, chop, and swell 4-8ft but periods under 10 seconds. Wave energy moderate (635-748) but no quality. Tuesday July 7 morning is a total loss. Thursday July 9 brings 7ft NW but moderate cross-on wind—still poor. Friday July 10 morning shows stronger energy but choppy conditions.
Second week: July 13-14 tiny 2-3ft swell with very long periods (14-21 seconds) but cross-on wind. July 15-16 has a 19-21 second groundswell but only 2-3ft—lots of lulls. Friday July 17 and Saturday July 18 jump to 8ft NW with strong energy (1499-1602) but blown out and expert-only. Nothing here worth a drive. A classic quiet spell for this spot. Keep the board in the car, but don’t get your hopes up.
