The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at the next 16 days, and honestly, there’s not a single good surf session on offer right now. The whole period is a write-off for quality waves. The forecast is filled with poor surf conditions, and the score never gets off the ground. It’s a long, blank run from now through to the 10th of August.
The only spot in the mix is Horace Caldwell Pier. It’s a beach/pier setup, fairly consistent, but the swell is tiny and the wind is constantly messing things up. We’re looking at a persistent cross-onshore or onshore breeze from the south and SSE, making things choppy and messy. The swell is coming from the S/SE, but it’s weak, with combined wave energy mostly in the 30-60 range (weak) and only briefly touching 111 (moderate) on the afternoon of the 6th of August. Even then, the swell height is only 4 ft with a short period of 7 seconds, and the wind is still onshore, so it’s junk.
The water temp is 84° on the first day, which is about normal for the time of year, given the anomaly is +0.9°. Not that it matters much when you’re fighting an onshore breeze for knee-high slop. For any surfer looking for a paddle, this stretch is a total dud. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially with those consistent trade winds.
If you’re desperate, the morning of the 2nd of August has a light wind, but it’s still cross-onshore and the swell is just 3 ft with a 6-second period. It’s a skip. Nothing here is a standout. In fact, there’s nothing to highlight at all. Keep your board in the car and wait for the next system.
Rusty.
