Right. Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. For the next couple of weeks, Horace Caldwell Pier is looking pretty flat and ordinary. We're looking at a real dry spell here. The swell's basically a no-show for over a week straight, with tiny waves and onshore breezes making a mess of things. You're better off doing something else until we get past the second week.
Things start to look slightly less grim around Tuesday the 14th. The swell is still small, only about 3 ft from the SSE, but the key change is the wind. Early morning we get a light cross-offshore breeze from the WSW, which will actually clean things up a bit. The wave energy is still weak (91), but it'll be surfable for a beginner. Don't expect anything exciting, but if you absolutely need a paddle, that's your best shot.
The next morning, Wednesday the 15th, is similar. Again, light cross-offshore wind from the WNW early, with a 3 ft swell from the S. The wave energy drops a bit to 70, but the clean conditions make it the other half-decent window.
Everything else in that second week is plagued by onshore or cross-onshore winds and poor conditions. As we head towards Friday the 17th, the swell inches up a bit to 4 ft from the SSE, but the onshore wind and moderate chop will ruin it.
So, the pick of a very average bunch is Tuesday morning, July 14th, and Wednesday morning, July 15th. The water temp is sitting around 83°F which is normal for this time of year. Don't get your hopes up. The rest of the time, it's a bust. A couple of mornings with clean, small waves, but that's about it for this forecast period.
