The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch is looking pretty flat and frustrating for the next 16 days. We’ve got a run of small, weak, wind-affected surf that’s just not going to give you much to work with. The forecast shows a long gap of poor conditions, so don’t get your hopes up for any good waves.

I’m looking at Horace Caldwell Pier (United States) for the whole period, and honestly, it’s a tough watch. The water’s sitting at 85°, which is about 1° warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing too wild, just a bit of a warm bath. The first real chance to even think about a paddle isn’t until Sunday, August 2nd. That morning, the wind switches to a light offshore from the W at 3 mph, cleaning things right up. But the swell is tiny – only 3 ft from the SSE with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is weak (37), so it’s going to be small, weak, and gutless. It’s clean, but barely surfable.

After that, we’re back into a grind. From Monday, August 3rd all the way through to the end of the 16-day window, every single session is rated as poor. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, blowing from the SSE and SE at 9 to 25 mph, chopping up the surface. The swell never gets above 4 ft, and that period stays stuck at 5 or 6 seconds – short-period wind slop. The energy figures are all in the low two-digit range (20 to 69), which is weak, weak, weak. There’s no standout day, no hidden gem, nothing to get excited about.

For a beginner-friendly beach/pier setup like this, those small waves are fine, but the wind just ruins any chance of a decent wave face. The constant onshore breeze and chop make it more of a kite-surfing kind of setup than a paddle-surfing one. This is one of those blank runs that feels normal for the area when the pattern shuts down. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing worth chasing.

Rusty.
