Hey, Rusty here. Gotta be honest—this 16-day stretch is a tough one. Only break on the list is Horace Caldwell Pier, and the water’s about 84°F (normal for this time of year), but that’s the only bright spot.
From Sunday July 5 through Wednesday July 15, it’s mostly onshore wind, tiny weak swell under 3 ft, short periods around 4 to 7 seconds. Combined energy barely gets into double digits, topping out at 59 on Thursday July 9 afternoon with a fresh breeze making it lumpy. Not worth wetting a wetsuit.
Tuesday July 14 morning gives us a little hope—offshore wind from the WSW at 6 mph, clean conditions, but the swell is only 3 ft from the SE with a 7-second period and low energy (89). “Surfable but very ordinary” is the call, and that’s about right. Tiny wave, and the wind goes onshore again by afternoon. That’s your one shot, and it’s weak.
The rest of the week stays messy, with cross‑onshore winds and heights under 3 ft. Saturday July 18 morning jumps to 8 ft from the SE with a 10-second period and massive combined energy of 1210, but it’s a moderate cross‑shore wind at 12 mph, making it a lumpy, jumbled mess. Forecast says “marginal”—with that much wind and a beach break, it’s more for kite surfers than paddle surfers. Too big for beginners, still messy for experts.
The final days from July 19 on drop back to small, weak, choppy conditions. No standouts anywhere. It’s a long flat spell, but forecasts can change. Hang tight.
Rusty.
