Alright, I’ll level with you. Right now, and for a long stretch, there’s not much doing at Horace Caldwell Pier. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly open to whatever’s coming in, but the wind is just ruining it. The water’s about 84°, which is normal for the time of year – nothin’ wild there.
We’re lookin’ at a real dry spell starting July 4th. Throughout that first week, the surf is tiny – mostly 2ft to 3ft – out of the SSE or SE, with real short, weak periods of 4 to 6 seconds. Nothin’ to work with. And the wind? Steady cross-onshore or onshore from the SSE or S at 9 to 18 mph, keepin’ everything choppy. The energy numbers are low, in the teens and twenties – just weak.
This poor run carries on right through the second week. Around July 13th, there’s a little bump in energy, with a 4ft swell from the SE at 7 seconds, but it’s still cross-onshore and gettin’ a “poor surf conditions” tag. That’s the story: every single entry from July 4th to July 19th is marked as poor. No standout day at all. The only change is by July 16th and 17th, we see bigger surf – up to 8ft on the 17th morning with a lot of energy – but it’s still blown out and lumpy with 18-22 mph winds from the SSE. That kind of size and wind? Better for kite surfing than a clean paddle session.
For this whole 16-day window, there’s just no good surf. It’s a real frustrating stretch for the area. Sometimes it goes like this – the wind stays on it and the swell never lines up. But don’t give up hope; forecasts can change, and it rarely stays this poor forever.
