The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the menu for the region.
Honestly, for the next week and a half, it’s looking pretty flat and disappointing. From the 28th of July right through to the 6th of August, we’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. The swell energy is practically non-existent, with readings barely scraping double digits (combined energy of all swells directed here under 25). It’s the kind of period where you’d be better off checking the tide pools or going for a swim. The water is a balmy 77°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least it’s comfortable for a dip.
There are a few glassy mornings, like the 29th of July and the 3rd of August, but with zero swell showing, it’s just a flat, pretty ocean. No use to us.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting… and a bit wild. We’ve got a serious pulse of energy coming in on the 7th of August. Friday morning is looking at a massive 12ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy reading of 1341. That’s a lot of water moving. The wind is forecast to be glassy, which is about as good as it gets for conditions. But here’s the catch – this is a beginner reef break, and that kind of size is strictly for experts only. It’s going to be a proper beast, and for most of us, it’s a day to watch from the cliffs. The afternoon holds at 10ft but with a cross-on wind, so it’ll get a bit lumpy.
That Friday the 7th morning is the one true standout, but it’s a heavy, dangerous wave. If you’re a seasoned charger, you’ll be eyeing it up. For everyone else, the 8th of August morning might offer a more manageable, though still big, 8ft from the NW, but with a cross-shore wind making it a bit tricky. The energy drops off fast after that, and by the 9th we’re back to small, poor conditions.
So, the long and short of it: a long, flat wait, then a massive, expert-only spike on the 7th of August. It’s not a great outlook for the average surfer, but Mother Nature is reminding us who’s boss.
Rusty.
