Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – it's a tough stretch ahead for our stretch of coast. The swell just isn't there. We're looking at a long, quiet period.
Right now and for the next week-plus, it's flat and blown out. Small, weak swells from the SSE and SE with periods of 4 to 6 seconds just don't have any grunt. We've got onshore and cross-onshore winds, often 9 to 19 mph, turning what little bump there is into a messy, choppy affair. Combined swell energy readings stay below 100 (weak) for days on end. This is a blank run, and it's not that unusual for this area to see a stretch like this – the forecasts can change, but right now there's nothing to get excited about.
Now, we do see a flicker of life around the middle of the month. On Monday, July 13th, things start to look a bit less useless. The swell bumps up a touch to 4ft from the ESE, with an 8-second period, giving us a moderate combined energy of 193—the best we'll see. But the wind is still cross-onshore, so it won't be clean.
The real standout, and I’m using that word very loosely, looks like the morning of Tuesday, July 14th and Wednesday, July 15th. On the Tuesday morning, we get a clean 4ft SE swell with a light, cross-offshore breeze. On Wednesday morning, it’s even better for conditions: glassy. A 3ft SE swell with not a breath of wind from the WNW. These two mornings at Horace Caldwell Pier (a beach/pier setup) are your only shot at something surfable over the next two weeks. It won't be pumping, but the waves will be rideable and the surface will be smooth. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°, which is about normal for this time of year.
After that, the wind swings back onshore and the swell fades again. A long, quiet outlook, but if you're desperate, pencil in that mid-week window. Stay tuned.
Rusty.
