The Lowdown
Alright, let me have a look at what we’ve got for the next couple weeks. I’m looking at JP Luby Pier – a beach/pier setup that’s usually pretty consistent and a good beginner spot when conditions line up. But the next 16 days? Honestly, it’s a total write-off. Not a single decent wave in the whole window. The swell is small, the wind is constantly cross-onshore or cross, and the water’s choppy and lumpy almost every day. The energy is weak – mostly under 100, with a few days barely cracking 150 – and the period is short, never above 7 seconds. That’s just not going to give you anything worth paddling out for.
The water temp is sitting around 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year – nothing unusual there. But the wind? It’s a steady 12 to 22 mph from the south or southeast, which isn’t doing us any favours. Even when the swell bumps up a little around July 16–17, the wind just ruins it. And after that it drops right back down. From July 21 onward you’re looking at ankle‑biters under 2 ft with periods of 4‑5 seconds. That’s barely a ripple.
So yeah, there’s no surf worth talking about. The break itself can handle a good SE swell, but we’re just not getting one in this forecast. It’s a proper dry spell – nearly three weeks of flat, windy conditions. For a spot that usually has something, that’s a bit of a letdown. Keep an eye on the charts though; these blank runs don’t usually last forever around here.
