The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's shaping up.
Honestly, right now, we're in a bit of a flat spell. The first week or so is looking pretty poor for any real surf. From Wednesday the 22nd right through to the end of July, it's a run of tiny, weak swell with very little energy. We're talking knee-high at best, with combined energy barely getting into double digits – mostly a measly 7 to 30 (7 to 30) – and the wind is rarely doing us any favors. It's a frustrating stretch of small, bumpy, and weak conditions. You'll be waiting a while.
The first real hint of something happening arrives on Saturday the 1st of August. The early morning still looks small with a weak 2ft swell from the west, but the afternoon brings a noticeable jump. We get a 5ft swell from the west, with a combined energy of 356 (356). That's a decent pulse of moderate energy. The wind is cross-shore but moderate, so it won't be perfect, but it's the first thing that's actually worth looking at.
That swell runs into Sunday the 2nd of August as well. Morning sees a 5ft west swell at 6 seconds, which is short period and a bit lumpy with that cross-shore wind. The afternoon cleans up a little, still 5ft from the west, with similar energy. It's still a bit messy, but it's the biggest surf we've seen in the forecast.
The standout window, if you can call it that, is this Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd of August. The pick of the bunch is Anse du Brick. It's a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and it's exposed to the west. That 5ft west swell on Saturday afternoon will be the biggest push. The wind is cross-shore, so it won't be glassy, but it's the best option on offer. The water is also much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at a balmy 66°, which is a nice bonus.
The following week from Monday the 3rd looks like it drops back down again. The swell fades and the wind swings onshore, making things choppy. Not much to get excited about there.
So, to sum it up: the first 10 days are a write-off. Your best bet is to pencil in the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of August. It won't be perfect, but it's the only real surf in the window. Keep your fingers crossed the forecasts hold.
Rusty.
