The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, lookin' at the same outlook but in feet and knots for you. It’s a grim picture, no way around it.
The first chance to even think about it is Friday morning, July 24th, but don’t get your hopes up. For the entire 16 days, the wind is locked in from the SSE to SE, blowing cross-onshore or straight onshore, trashing any chance of clean waves. The swell is all short-period junk, under 8 seconds, so it’s weak and gutless. The wave energy is low to moderate, with readings like 68, 44, and 31 in the first week, just not enough to get excited about.
The only spot in the mix is Horace Caldwell Pier. It’s a beach and pier setup, fairly exposed, but that wind is the enemy. Swell heights hang around 2 to 4 feet for days, but with that onshore breeze, it’s just a choppy, crumbly mess. There are zero standouts. The first few days from the 24th to the 31st are all knee-to-waist high slop with constant wind.
There’s a little more push around Monday, August 3rd, with waves hitting 4 feet and the combined energy climbing to 112. That’s some moderate energy, but the wind is still cross-onshore from the SSE, making it lumpy. The period is still short at 6 seconds, meaning no real shape. This same story runs into the second week, with a bit more on Thursday the 6th (131 combined energy, 4-foot swell), but the wind doesn’t let up. It stays onshore or cross-onshore the whole way.
Honestly, this entire 16-day window is one long gap where I can’t give you a green light. It’s all poor surf. If you’ve got a kite, this might be your scene, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a tough stretch. Stick with it, these things never last forever.
Rusty.
