The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, this is Rusty. I'm looking at the forecast for Horace Caldwell Pier, and let me tell you, it's a rough 16 days ahead.
The whole outlook is a long stretch of poor quality, with mostly small, onshore wind slop. The combined swell energy stays weak to moderate at best, never really packing a punch. The water temp is 85°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you can wear shorts.
Monday the 10th starts with some thunderstorms possible and a weak 2ft SE swell, but it's all messy with a cross-onshore wind. Hard pass. From Tuesday through the following Saturday it's more of the same: tiny surf, 3ft to 4ft, with moderate to fresh onshore winds. It's choppy, lumpy, and not worth paddling out for.
There are a couple of mornings that look clean – Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th – with glassy conditions and light winds. On the 16th, the swell is a tiny 3ft from the SE with a 6-second period, and on the 17th it’s even smaller at 2ft. It would be clean, but you'd be fighting for a ride. The wave energy is very low.
Then we go into another stretch of poor conditions, all the way to the end on the 25th. The best looking window is Tuesday the 25th morning, where we get a clean, cross-offshore wind from the N and a 3ft SE swell. That’s the most promising morning in the whole run, but the swell is still tiny and the period is short.
So, what’s the pick? If you’re a beginner and just want to sit on a board in clean water, Sunday the 16th morning or Tuesday the 25th morning are your best bets. But don't expect to catch much. For anyone else, there's nothing here. It's a blank run, which is more normal for this area when the conditions lock in like this. Forecasts can change, but for now, I'd find something else to do.
Rusty.
