Hey gang, Rusty here. Let’s hash out what we’re seeing for Lawrencetown Left Point.
Right from the start, it’s a slow go. From today, Monday the 6th, right through until early Thursday morning, the 9th, the surf is a no-go. We're talking tiny waves, ankle-to-knee high at best, with next to no energy behind them and a short, choppy interval. Water temp is around 56°, which is dead average for July.
Then on Thursday morning, July 9th, we get a little pulse. Swell comes in at about 4ft from the SE, with energy climbing to 186. The period is still short at 7 seconds, so it won't be clean, but the wind is dead calm out of the NNW. Glassy as a mirror. It's surfable, but don't expect any classics.
After that, the rest of the first week and weekend get messy with onshore winds. Saturday morning the 11th gives us a brief window of offshore wind, but the swell drops to just 2ft. Clean, but small.
We then hit another quiet stretch from Sunday afternoon the 12th through Wednesday the 15th. A bit of swell tries to push in, but the wind just ruins the surface.
Now, here is the real standout for this run. Thursday morning, July 16th. This is for the experienced crew. We get a solid 6ft+ swell from the SSW, and the energy meter cranks up to 614. That’s a lot of juice. At 6ft, it's too big for beginners and getting into expert territory. The wind will be cross-shore from the WSW, so expect some texture on the face, but the power is undeniable.
The next solid option is Friday morning, July 17th. Swell backs off to a fun 3ft from the SSE (energy 216), and the wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the west. Clean conditions, much more manageable. A good day for intermediates to cash in.
The final week trails off. The waves get smaller and the wind turns onshore again for the weekend. The period stays short, so the waves lack that real push.
The best of it is split: go big on Thursday, July 16th if you’ve got the skills and want power, or hit Friday morning, July 17th for cleaner, friendlier waves.
Stay sharp out there.
Rusty.
