Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break it down – this 16-day run at In-Betweens is a long, ugly wait, and it’s going to test your patience. It’s a reef break, exposed to swell, usually fairly consistent, but for the first week and some, it’s a total bust. We’ve got a solid week of crappy conditions with cross-off winds smashing it, making everything messy. The water’s about 80°, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until Friday, July 17th. Before that, from Monday the 6th through Thursday the 16th, it’s a write-off. You’ll have swell – waves around 5 ft to 8 ft, mostly from the ENE – but it’s short-period junk at 7 seconds, blasted by strong cross-off winds of 19 to 25 mph. The wave energy (888 to 919) is moderate, but the quality is just not there. It looks clean, but the surf is poor. There’ll be some marginal spots around Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th, but they’re still low-scoring.
Here’s the only real standout: the afternoon of Friday, July 17th. Winds drop to a gentle 9 mph, turning cross-off from the ENE, and the water goes glassy. The swell flips to a tiny 2 ft from the SSW with a super long 16-second period – proper groundswell. The energy (236) is low, but on a reef, that long period can still wrap in and offer a few clean, fun-sized waves. It’s rated as “good” conditions. For a beginner-friendly spot with “sometimes” crowds, you might snag a quiet window and some smooth, delicate surf.
After that, Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st show some marginal promise with a stronger, very long-period swell from the east (19 seconds), but it’s still small (2 ft to 3 ft). Winds stay cross-off and fresh, so it’s not a pure winner, but the energy (up to 758) is moderate and the shape could be there for reef riders. It’s a tease, but the best of the rest.
Bottom line: if you can sit through a week of chop and cross-off mess, pencil in Friday the 17th for a cheeky session. That’s the one real highlight. Otherwise, you’re in for a long wait.
Rusty.
