The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for the next couple of weeks.
I gotta be straight – it’s a rough start. We’re looking at a long stretch with no real surf to get excited about. For the first ten days or so, from Thursday the 30th of July right through to the end of the first week of August, the setup is a write-off. The wind is mostly a stiff cross-shore or cross-onshore, messing up any chance of a clean face. The swell is on the small side and weak, with short periods around 7 seconds, so it’s just a messy, lumpy windswell. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, and the energy is low (around 200-360). Honestly, it’s not worth paddling out for.
Now, there’s a glimmer of hope on Saturday morning, the 1st of August. The wind swings light offshore from the NW and the swell drops to 4ft from the NNE. It’s still short period at 7 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (238), but it’s the cleanest we’ll see. That’s your best bet for a surfable wave, but it’s really just ordinary.
After that, it’s back to the same windy, lumpy pattern until we hit the second week. Sunday the 9th of August sees a bit of a pulse – a 5ft swell from the N with a longer period of 11 seconds. The energy jumps up to moderate (523). But the wind is still a cross-shore from the N at 16 mph, so it’s choppy. It’s a tease, really.
The standout period, if you can call it that, will be around the 12th and 13th of August. The swell builds to 8ft from the NNE, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is strong (over 700). This is solid, punchy stuff. But again, the wind is a stiff cross-shore, creating lumpy, cross-chop conditions. It’s going to be a messy, powerful wave – one for the experienced guys only, and even then, it’s not going to be pretty. For beginners, this is way too big and rough.
Honestly, this whole window is a struggle. The wind just doesn’t give us a break. There’s no one spot that’s going to fire cleanly. The best advice I can give is to keep an eye on that Saturday morning (1st August) for the cleanest conditions, or wait for the bigger, lumpy stuff in the second week if you’re an expert looking for a battle. For now, the kites are going to have more fun than the paddle crew.
Rusty, signing off.
