Table - best surf conditions forecast for Horace Caldwell Pier over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk turkey. Looking at the next 16 days for Horace Caldwell Pier, it’s mostly gonna be a flat, blown-out mess. The wind is going to be your enemy for the first week and a half, blowing onshore from the SSE and SE, keeping the waves small and crumbly. Water temp is sitting at about 84°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The first real opportunity to surf doesn’t pop up for a long time – nearly two weeks with nothing worth getting excited about.
The only window that shows a bit of promise is on Sunday morning, the 19th of July. Swell comes in at about 3 feet from the ESE, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s got some moderate energy behind it (141). The wind switches light out of the SSW, giving us a cross-shore breeze and only a little bit of chop. For this spot, that’s as clean as it’s gonna get. The break is fairly exposed to that swell, and it’s a beginner-friendly beach and pier setup that’s fairly consistent. Expect crowds, though, because it’ll be the only spot that looks half decent.
Before that, on the morning of Wednesday the 15th, you’ll see a brief moment of offshore wind out of the WNW at 6 mph, making it glassy. But the waves are tiny, only about 2 feet. Clean as a whistle, but no power.
Now, later on Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd of July, the swell actually picks up to around 5 to 6 feet from the SE and ESE. The problem is the wind freshens up, onshore and lumpy. With the wind that strong at this beach and pier, the ocean is gonna look more like a washing machine. That setup is probably more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, for a surfer, that Sunday morning the 19th is your target. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the only real chance you’ve got for a decent session.
