The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for this stretch of coast.
We're looking at a pretty tough run of conditions for the next couple of weeks. The main issue is the wind. It's almost constantly blowing from the north or north-northeast, and that's not doing us any favours. For a spot that likes a clean north offshore wind, we're getting a lot of cross-shore and cross-onshore breeze, which is just messing up the surface. The swell is there, but it's all a bit of a mess for most of the period.
The first real chance of anything worthwhile doesn't come until Saturday, the 1st of August. The morning still looks poor, but the afternoon shows a bit of a shift. The wind drops to a gentle breeze from the NNW, turning cross-offshore. The swell is small, around 4ft from the north-northeast, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak (209). It's not going to be firing, but it's the first time the conditions are described as "clean". It's a very ordinary option, but it's the only one on the table.
Honestly, for the rest of the 16-day window, it's a bleak picture. The wind stays strong and cross, and the swell gets bigger, but it's all lumpy and choppy. There's a big pulse of swell around the 4th and 5th of August, with heights pushing 6ft to 8ft, and the combined energy climbing into the moderate range (462 to 820). But with the fresh cross-shore wind, it's just going to be a washing machine. It's the kind of setup that looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle board.
There's nothing to get excited about, folks. It's a long stretch of "poor surf conditions" with only a single, very marginal window on the 1st of August. A blank run like this is pretty normal for the area when the wind doesn't play ball. Keep your eyes on the forecast, because things can change, but right now, it's a stay-at-home kind of week.
Rusty.
