Alright, gang, Rusty here, looking at the local surf for the next couple weeks.
The first real shot is Thursday morning, July 9th. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the SE wrapping into Lawrencetown Left Point (reef and point). The wind is glassy out of the NW at just 3 mph, so it’ll be smooth. The water temp is about average for this time of year. The energy is moderate (293), and with that 8-second period, it’s a decent combo swell. This is the standout session of the whole outlook – get on it early because the wind gets ugly in the afternoon.
By Thursday afternoon, the SW wind jumps to 15 mph cross-on, and the quality tanks. That’s it for the good stuff. Friday the 10th is small and cross-shore, Saturday the 11th has tiny 2ft waves with offshore N wind, but it’s just too weak to get excited about. Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th are glassy but tiny – ankle to knee high at best. There’s a real dry spell through the middle of the week.
Tuesday the 14th sees a jump in size, but the wind is a disaster. Swell hits 8ft from the SW with a 7-second period, but the wind is 25 mph cross-on. That’s big, ugly, and blown out – honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The energy is strong (623), but it’s not for us. Wednesday the 15th is similar, with 6ft and cross-shore wind, still lumpy.
We then go through another stretch of poor conditions until Saturday the 18th, where there’s a tiny glassy morning with 2ft. Not worth a paddle. The next real chance isn’t until Wednesday the 22nd of July. That morning shows 6ft from the S, a 6-second period, and a gentle cross-shore breeze. The energy is moderate (292), but the period is short, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and close-out prone. It’s marginal, but it’s the only half-decent window in the second week. By Thursday the 23rd, it’s onshore again.
So, bottom line: Thursday morning, July 9th is your only true standout. The rest of the 16 days is mostly small, windy, or messy. The long-range stuff on the 22nd is a maybe, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty, out.
