Hey folks, Rusty here. Lookin' at the charts for the next couple weeks, I gotta be straight with you – there's basically nothing worth paddling out for at Horace Caldwell Pier through to July 25th. The whole run's got nothing but "poor surf conditions" stamped all over it. Swell's tiny – we're talking 2 ft to 4 ft from the southeast, but the period's short, mostly 4-6 seconds, so it's weak and wobbly. Combined energy never cracks 100 – most days sitting between 14 and 94, so that's real weak. And the wind? Onshore or cross-onshore almost every session, from the southeast or south-southeast, blowing 6 to 25 mph. That's gonna chop it up proper. No windows of clean surf, no standout days. Not even a morning with offshore flow – the optimum offshore is northwest, but we ain't seein' that.
The break itself is a beach/pier setup, beginner-friendly, and it's fairly consistent for the area, so a total blank run like this is a bit unusual – but it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, leave the board in the car. Horace Caldwell Pier (United States) just ain't got the goods this time.
Rusty.
