The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here. I’ve gone over the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be honest with you – it’s looking pretty bleak for getting wet. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead with nothing worth a paddle.
The only spot in the picture is Horace Caldwell Pier. It’s a beach and pier set-up, fairly exposed, but there’s just no life in the ocean. The water temp is about normal for this time of year.
From Wednesday 22 July right through to Thursday morning 6 August, every single session is rated as poor. The swell is tiny, from 0.6ft to 5ft, and the period is short, mostly 5 to 7 seconds, so it’s weak and gutless. The combined energy is low, never getting into moderate territory.
The wind is the killer. The whole 16 days we’ve got onshore or cross-onshore winds. No clean, glassy mornings. It’s choppy, lumpy, and messy the whole way through. The best you’ll get is a light breeze, but it’s still from the wrong direction.
There is no standout. No hidden gem. Not a single day where you’d think, “Maybe I’ll risk it.” This is a total blank run. For this area, that kind of dead stretch is more normal than we’d like, but it still stings.
Keep your board close, but don’t expect much.
Rusty.
