Last Chance Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Last Chance.

Alright, so we've got a bit of a slow start here. The first week is pretty mellow, but there's a real treat waiting for us towards the end of the second week, with some serious size and energy on the way. The standout session is going to be a beauty.

Let's start with Sunday morning, the 12th of July. We're looking at a clean, chest to shoulder high swell at 3 ft from the south, with a very long period of 15 seconds. The wind is a light cross-off from the WSW at 15 km/h, so the face will be groomed. The combined energy is a solid moderate 527. It's a nice, clean start.

Monday, the 13th, we see a little drop, but still a clean 3 ft from the south on Monday morning. Wind is cross-off from the north at 15 km/h. By Monday afternoon, things get a bit messy with a cross-shore wind. The swell drops further into Tuesday, with only a tiny 2 ft left. Wednesday is glassy but flat, with only 1 ft.

Thursday, the 16th, we get a bit of a pulse. The morning is a small, clean 2 ft with an offshore wind, but the afternoon brings a bigger 2 ft swell from the ESE with a very long 18-second period and a cross-off wind. The energy is moderate at 340. It's clean, but still small.

Now, for the good stuff. Friday, the 17th of July. This is the one to circle. The afternoon session is firing. We've got a 5 ft swell from the ESE with a 15-second period. The wind is glassy from the SSE at just 5 km/h. The combined energy is a strong 1175. For an advanced spot like this, that is perfect. Clean, lined-up, and powerful. This is the standout of the whole 16-day window. Get in the water.

Saturday, the 18th, it's similar size but with a moderate breeze. It's still clean, but not as perfect as Friday.

Then we get into some serious water. Starting Monday, the 20th, the swell kicks up to 8 ft from the ESE. This is getting big, but the Monday morning session has a light offshore, so it could be an incredible, powerful day for the experienced crew. The energy is up at 1254. From Tuesday the 21st onwards, it gets huge. We're looking at 15 ft to 20 ft swells. This is expert-only territory. The combined energy hits 11284 on Tuesday afternoon. The forecast says the swell is too big for this break, so unless you're a gun on a massive day, it's a spectacle from the cliff. This big swell continues through to the 27th of July. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.

So, to wrap it up: the first few days are slow, but hang tight for the Friday the 17th afternoon glass-off. That's the pick of the fortnight.

Rusty.
