The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and the outlook for this stretch is a tough one to sell. We’re looking at a long run with nothing to get excited about.
From Thursday the 13th all the way through the end of the 16 days, it’s a flat and windy mess. The first surf recommendation comes with a big fat zero, and it never gets better. The swell is tiny, short-period junk from the SE, best heights hitting only about 4 ft on Friday morning the 14th, but with a period of just 6 seconds – that’s pure chop. The wind is blowing onshore or cross-onshore, ruining any chance of a decent wave.
The only break we’ve got is Horace Caldwell Pier. It’s a beginner-friendly beach/pier spot, and while it’s fairly consistent, this run is a total bust. Combined swell energy barely pokes into moderate territory once, hitting 193 on Friday morning the 14th, but most of the time it’s weak, down in the teens and twenties. The water is about 85°F, normal for the season.
If you’re into kite surfing, the constant onshore wind might be fun, but for paddle surfing, you’re wasting your time. This is a full 16-day gap with no standouts. Don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
