The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – looking at the 16-day window for Horace Caldwell Pier, it’s a tough one. The surf is flat, weak, and messy. There’s no standout, no hidden gem to chase. The forecast is pretty much all “poor surf conditions” with not a single score above zero. We're looking at a long stretch of small, onshore junk.
Starting from Thursday, July 23rd, we've got tiny swell. Thursday morning sees a weak 2ft south swell with a short period of 5 seconds, and a combined energy of just (15). The wind is cross-offshore, which is the best we’ll see, but with almost no energy, it’s barely a ripple. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and picks up to 22 mph from the south, turning it into a complete washout. This pattern repeats all the way through the end of July and into the first week of August. The swell tries to bump up to 3ft on the morning of Saturday the 25th, but it's coming from the SE with a short 6-second period and a gentle cross-onshore breeze, making it choppy and weak. The combined energy only hits (90), which is still weak for this break.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. Through the end of July and the start of August, we get this constant onshore flow from the SSE and SE, with wind speeds sitting between 9 and 19 mph. The swell stays small, mostly between 2ft and 3ft, with periods stuck at 5 to 6 seconds. The combined energy never breaks into a three-digit number, maxing out at (64) on the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. That day the swell is 3ft from the SSE, but it’s cross-on and choppy. Not worth paddling out for.
There is a glimmer of something different on Monday, August 3rd. The swell period jumps to 9 seconds from the ESE with a tiny 0.7ft swell in the morning. That's a slightly longer period, but the size is non-existent and the wind is howling onshore at 19 mph from the SSE. It's not a surfable wave. The energy is a pathetic (16). After that, it goes straight back to the same small, short-period, onshore slop for the rest of the outlook.
Honestly, this whole 16-day run looks better for a kite than a surfboard given the persistent onshore winds and weak swell. There are simply no good options on offer. The lack of consistent swell and the constant wind means we’re in for a blank run, which sadly happens here.
Keep an eye on it though, forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the boards at home.
