The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at Horace Caldwell Pier. The water’s sitting at about 84°, which is right around average for this time of year. Nothing weird there.
But we’ve got a long dry spell ahead. Starting now, there’s nothing to get excited about. The first few days are tiny, weak, and blown out. Monday the 3rd of August, we’re looking at a tiny 2ft SSE swell with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 30. Wind is cross-on from the south at 6 mph, and it’s just messy. It doesn’t get much better through the week, with afternoon onshore winds picking up to 12-15 mph. The swell stays small, usually 3ft to 3ft, with period stuck at 5-6 seconds and energy struggling to hit triple digits. It’s all poor surf conditions.
There’s a glimmer on Thursday the 13th of August – the swell finally bumps up a bit. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the SE, period 6 seconds, and the combined energy hits 102 – that’s moderate energy. Still, the wind is cross-on from the south at 12 mph, making it choppy. It’s not clean, and it’s not a standout. The afternoon has 4ft at 6 seconds, energy 116, but it’s onshore. This is the best on offer, but it’s honestly not much. The following days, the 14th and 15th, hold similar 4ft swells, but the wind remains a problem. It’s never glassy, never offshore.
After that, the swell fades back down to 2ft for the rest of the window. The whole 16 days is a flat, choppy mess. There are no standout sessions. If you’re really desperate, the morning of the 13th is your best bet, but keep your expectations low. Crowds are "sometimes" an issue here, but with conditions this poor, you’ll probably have the place to yourself. For the most part, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the onshore wind and small, weak swell.
Rusty.
