The Lowdown
G'day, this is Rusty. Let's break down the next 16 days for you.
Starting Tuesday, 28 July, it's pretty flat and weak for the first couple of days. The real action gets going from Thursday.
The best bet is this Thursday morning, 30 July, and Friday morning, 31 July, at Kiddies Corner. Thursday morning, you've got a 1.7m south swell with clean cross-off winds. The energy is solid (574). The water temp is 62°, which is normal for this time of year. Friday morning is even better – a 1.7m south swell, clean cross-off winds, and the energy jumps up to a strong 635. These are the pick of the sessions by a long shot.
After that, swell drops off a bit for Saturday, 1 August, with a 1.4m swell and light winds, still a good option. Then Sunday, 2 August, we get a bigger bump. The morning has a 1.7m south-southeast groundswell with a 13-second period, offering excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The energy is very strong at 1007, and with light north-west winds, it'll be clean. Sunday afternoon stays clean with a 1.6m swell and glassy offshore west winds.
The following week is a mixed bag. Monday, 3 August, is a total loss with strong winds. From Tuesday, 4 August, through Wednesday, 5 August, the swell is huge at 3.0m, but it's just too big for this spot. The conditions are labelled "too big for this break," so unless you're an expert, stay on the beach. The energy is massive, over 1500, but it's not surfable here.
Things settle down later in the week. Tuesday, 11 August, is another standout for the experts. The morning brings a 2.0m east-northeast groundswell with a long 11-second period, clean cross-off winds, and a very strong energy reading of 1519. It's a solid groundswell, so it'll have plenty of power. Wednesday, 12 August, offers a 1.3m east swell with a 12-second period and clean winds, a good morning session.
There are a few gaps of days where the surf is poor or too big, but there are plenty of windows to get out. Some later sessions, like Sunday, 9 August, and Monday, 10 August, have glassy, clean conditions with 1.1m to 1.2m east swells, which is perfect for a longboard.
Rusty signing off.
