The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here with a look at the coming weeks. The conditions around this spot aren't looking great for a while, so we're going to have to be patient.
The first week or so will be a tough grind. We’re looking at a long stretch of hardly anything rideable. For the first few days, from Sunday the 9th through to the end of that week, it’s mostly tiny, weak waves. The swell energy is barely registering, with readings as low as 3 to 5. The water temp is sitting at a pretty pleasant 75°, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year, but that’s about the only good news.
Things start to feel a little less hopeless from Tuesday the 11th. The swell bumps up a bit – around 3ft from the NE, and the energy climbs into the moderate range (hitting 64-67). Wind looks clean and offshore. It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about. You’ll see similar small, ordinary waves through the rest of the week, with the odd morning of glassy conditions.
The most promising window in this whole outlook is that Saturday morning, the 15th of August. The swell is the biggest we’ve got, pushing 5ft from the NE with enough energy behind it (187) to feel pretty solid. The wind is dead glassy in the morning. This set-up could offer the best chance of a proper wave, but don't expect perfection—it's still just marked as "ordinary."
For the rest of the run, it’s back to tiny, weak surf. There is a bit of a pulse that shows up on Sunday the 23rd with some clean offshore wind and 2ft NE swell (87 energy), but that’s still marginal at best. From there, it trails off again into tiny close-outs and onshores. Honestly, the first half of August is going to be a real test of patience around here. If you're desperate, that Saturday the 15th is your best bet.
