The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The forecast is looking pretty grim for the next sixteen days. We’ve got a long, dry spell with very little on offer. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until late in the piece, so don’t bother waxing up your board just yet.

The water is sitting at a warm 83°F at the start, which is a touch above the long-term average for this time of year – think of it as a little tropical warm-up.

For the first ten days or so, from Tuesday, July 14th right through to the weekend of July 19th, it’s a write-off. We’re getting a small, weak swell from the SSW, but the wind is a stubborn cross-onshore from the west, blowing at 12 to 16 mph. It’s choppy, messy, and the wave energy is low (963 to 567). Not a single session is worth paddling out for. This is a proper blank run.

Then we get into the week of July 20th. On Monday, July 20th, the swell starts to build a little from the south, with a longer period of 18 seconds, and the wave energy jumps up (1860). But the wind is still cross-onshore, so it’s a “marginal” call at best. The swell height is around 4 ft, but it’s not clean. The best chance in this whole period, if you can call it that, is Tuesday, July 21st, morning. The wind is straight onshore from the WSW, which is at least clean, and the swell is 4 ft from the SSW with a period of 15 seconds. The energy is strong (1059). It’s not perfect, but it’s the only thing that’s even close to surfable. Still, it’s only a 1/10 score, so don’t expect much.

After that, it’s back to the same old story. The rest of July and into the 29th, we’re plagued by more cross-onshore winds, stormy conditions, and energy levels that are all over the place. The only glimmer is on Monday, July 27th, afternoon, when a 4 ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period shows up (1410 energy), but the wind is onshore, so it’s marginal again.

Honestly, if you’re looking to get wet, you might be better off with a kite. The setup is more interesting for that than for paddle surfing. The swell is there, but the wind is just not cooperating for clean waves. Hang tight, folks. Forecasts change, and it can’t stay poor forever.

Rusty.
