Alright, let’s talk about this stretch. It’s a rough one, plain and simple. The whole 16-day window is a dud, with no real sessions to point to. The first few days are a wash, and the pattern just doesn’t shift.

We’re looking at Horace Caldwell Pier, a beach/pier setup. Water temp is about 84°, which is pretty average for the time of year. Nothing out of the ordinary.

From now, through the weekend and into next week, it’s all poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, running 3ft to 4ft, out of the SE. The period is short, mostly 5 to 7 seconds, so it’s weak, crumbly stuff. The combined energy is low, mostly in the 50 to 89 range (weak), with a few days mid-week bumping to 121 to 139 (moderate), but it’s still not doing anything.

The wind is the problem. It’s almost always onshore or cross-onshore, from the SSE, SE, or ESE, blowing 9 to 18 mph. That’s making it choppy and messy. No clean, glassy windows here. For a beginner-friendly spot, this is just a frustrating paddle for nothing.

Around Wednesday the 15th, the swell picks up a bit to 4ft, but the wind is still onshore, so it’s just more junk. The period stays short at 7 seconds, so no real power. The energy hits 139 Wednesday morning, but that’s a little buzz in a flat battery.

The second week, from about the 18th on, it’s more of the same – tiny swell, onshore wind, poor conditions. The energy drops back to the 50-90 range. There’s a slight bump on the 25th and 26th with 4ft swell from the SSE, but again, the wind is cross-on or onshore, and the period is only 6 seconds.

Honestly, this is a blank run. Not a single day I’d say “go.” If you’re a kite surfer, the steady onshore wind and knee-high chop might look fun, but for a paddle surfer? Leave the board at home. This area tends to go quiet, and this is one of those times. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
