The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch to the imperial numbers. Rusty here, and the news isn’t any better.
Looking at Horace Caldwell Pier, the next 16 days are a total dud. Starting Saturday, August 8th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the SE, period of 5 seconds, with a cross-on breeze. Water temp is 84°F, right around average. The wave energy is a weak 18. Not a single thing to get excited about.
This pattern just repeats itself. Day in, day out, it’s small SE swell, periods of 5-6 seconds, and winds blowing 12-18 mph onshore or cross-onshore. Makes for choppy, messy surf. The energy picks up a little on a couple of days, like Thursday the 13th (105) and Sunday the 16th (102), but it’s still tied to poor surf conditions and strong wind. For a beach/pier spot, this is way better for kite surfing than paddling.
The only small window is Friday, August 21st, in the morning. A light cross-offshore breeze at 6 mph and clean conditions. Problem is, the swell is still only 2ft with a 6-second period and energy of 29. Clean, but flat.
So, there it is. A solid 16 days with nothing worth paddling out for. No standout at all. Sometimes you get a blank run, and this is one of them. We’ll have to wait for the next one.
Rusty.
