Table - best surf conditions forecast for Horace Caldwell Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what the next couple of weeks are looking like for this stretch of coast.
Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak run coming our way. The whole 16-day window is filled with poor surf conditions and hardly anything to get excited about. There are no standouts to speak of. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for. The surf just isn’t there.
The first recommendation doesn’t even come until Thursday the 9th of July, and it’s a real letdown. For Horace Caldwell Pier, we’ve got tiny 2 ft swell from the SE with a short period of 5 seconds – that’s barely a ripple. The energy is super weak (17), and with a cross-onshore wind from the SSE at 6 mph, it’s just messy. The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year – a bit of a warm bath, but it doesn’t help the waves. This stays poor all day.
Moving into Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th, the swell bumps up a touch to 3 ft to 4 ft, still from the SE and still short period (5-6 seconds). But the wind swings onshore and gets fresh, with a risk of thunderstorms. Same story Sunday and Monday – onshore wind, lumpy, and the combined energy barely scrapes into moderate territory (124) on Monday morning, but the cross-onshore wind just chops it to bits. These are not waves you want to paddle into.
From Tuesday the 14th onward, it’s more of the same: tiny swell, onshore or cross-onshore wind, and “poor surf conditions” stamped on every single session. The swell tries to get back to 4 ft around Monday the 20th of July, but it’s still a short-period SE windswell with onshore winds. Even that little spike in energy (103) gets ruined by the wind.
Basically, for the next two and a half weeks, you’re better off finding something else to do. There’s no quality, no clean windows, and nothing that’ll get your heart pumping. It’s a blank run, plain and simple.
Stay patient. This stretch tends to turn around, but not this time.
Rusty.
