Table - best surf conditions forecast for Horace Caldwell Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. The entire 16-day window is a bust for any decent surf. There’s not a single recommendation in the whole forecast. We’re looking at a long, blank run with no real standouts to get excited about. For this area, a dry spell like this isn’t unheard of, so don’t let it get you down too much. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a flat spell.
We’re starting off with tiny, weak conditions. On Thursday the 9th, Horace Caldwell Pier is seeing a meager 2ft swell from the SSE with a short period of just 5 seconds. The combined energy is a pathetic 22, and with a cross-on breeze, it’s just wind ripples. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The next week and a half is more of the same. Through Friday the 10th, Saturday the 11th, and into the following week, we get a bit of a bump up to 4ft or 4ft on the 13th, but the period stays short, around 5 to 7 seconds. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” The energy stays low, mostly in the double digits, barely hitting triple digits (132 on the 12th afternoon, 150 on the 13th morning). It’s choppy, lumpy, and messy.
There is a spike in swell on Saturday the 18th of July, with a 7ft wave from the SE and a period of 8 seconds. That’s a solid amount of juice, with the combined energy hitting 919. But don’t get your hopes up – the wind is onshore at 16 mph, and the conditions are still rated as “poor.” This size is getting too big for beginners, and with onshore wind, it’s going to be a washing machine. The setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that, it fades back into the tiny stuff for the rest of the period, with nothing but 1ft to 3ft waves and onshore winds keeping things flat and grovelly. It’s a complete write-off, I’m afraid.
