Indicators Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for this spot.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week and a bit is a bit of a struggle. We’ve got some swell around, but it’s mostly messy, short-period stuff and the wind just isn’t doing us any favours. The good news is, things start to clean up towards the end of the run, especially on the last weekend.

The first real chance to get wet is Saturday morning, July 11th. It’s small, with a 3ft swell from the SSW. That’s a long-period groundswell at 15 seconds, which is a good sign for shape, but it’s a sheltered spot, so the energy is pretty weak (345). The water is cooking at 61°F, which is over 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a real treat.

The pattern doesn’t change much through the middle of the week. We see a slight bump in size on Tuesday, July 14th. The morning swell hits 5ft from the NW, but with a short period of 8 seconds, it’ll be a bit weak and lumpy (512). The afternoon is the real highlight here – the wind goes glassy, and the swell drops to 4ft from the WNW. It’s not a classic, but that glassy surface will make it feel way better than it looks on paper.

The real action kicks off around Thursday, July 16th. The morning sees a solid 7ft swell from the NW, with a moderate period of 9 seconds. The energy is pumping (1302), but 7ft is getting into expert territory, and the morning wind is cross-onshore, making it a bit of a battle. The bigger sets will be a handful.

Friday, July 17th, is a bit more manageable. The swell drops to 4ft, still from the WNW, and the wind is light and onshore. It’s a step down in size, but it’s more user-friendly.

Now for the standout. You’ve got to wait for it, but Saturday, July 26th, is the one. The afternoon delivers a clean 3ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 18 seconds. The wind goes glassy, the energy is solid (791), and the conditions are described as good. That long period will wrap in nicely at this point break, giving you clean, lined-up waves with plenty of power for the size. The crowds will be a factor here – it’s a spot that’s often busy, and with conditions this good, expect company.

Before that, the afternoon of Saturday, July 25th, is a decent warm-up. A 3ft SSW swell with a very long 20-second period and glassy conditions (733 energy). It’s a bit smaller, but the shape will be there.

So, the long and short of it: most of the next two weeks is small and bumpy, but if you’re patient, the last weekend – especially the afternoon of Saturday, July 26th – is your best bet. It’s a promising call, but it’s a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed.

Rusty.
