Indicators Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for us over the next couple of weeks.

Overall, we’re looking at a pretty drawn-out run of small, average conditions. There’s no major swell event to get properly excited about, and the quality is mostly ordinary. The best window looks like it’ll be around the middle of the first week, but even then, it’s more about the wind being right than the swell being big. The second week drops off significantly, with a long gap of poor-to-marginal surf before a brief, clean little window at the very end.

The first decent call comes on Tuesday morning, July 7th. It’s small, with a 2.3ft swell from the SSW, but the period is a long 19 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The water is a whopping 3.0° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual. With a light WSW breeze keeping it clean, this is one of the better opportunities for the early days, especially for a sheltered spot. The combined energy is moderate (852).

The standout for the whole forecast is Sunday afternoon, July 12th. It’s not huge – 4.3ft from the WNW – but conditions will be glassy, with barely a breath of wind. That’s about as clean as it gets. The period is short (8 seconds), so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but for a point break that likes a WNW swell, it’ll be fun and uncrowded. The energy is moderate (497).

After that, things get pretty ordinary. The swell stays small and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore through the rest of the week. A couple of glassy moments pop up on Tuesday afternoon, July 14th, with a 4.3ft WNW swell, but it’s still just surfable, not special.

Then we hit a real dry spell. From around Wednesday, July 15th, through to late July, the swell drops to 2.0ft – 2.6ft, and the conditions are mostly poor or marginal. There’s a long gap of several days with no real recommendation.

The only glimmer in the second week is Tuesday afternoon, July 21st. It’s tiny, 2.6ft from the SSW, but the wind goes glassy, and the swell period is a long 15 seconds. For a sheltered spot that likes a SSW direction, this could be a peaceful, clean little session. The energy is weak (408). It’s promising but far from certain this far out.
