The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me break down what's coming.
We're looking at a real mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, with one session that'll be worth the wait. The first few days are a washout. From Wednesday the 22nd right through to the start of the following week, you can hang up your wetsuit. Onshore winds and messy conditions are all we've got. That's a solid 5 or 6 days of sitting on the beach.
Lawrencetown Left Point is the only spot in the picture, and it's an inconsistent reef-and-point setup that needs everything just right. The first real chance comes on Friday morning the 24th. We'll see a clean 5ft SSW groundswell with a period of 9 seconds, carrying moderate wave energy. A light offshore wind from the north will be the key, giving us some fun, clean waves. It's not big, but after the junk we've seen, it'll feel like a gift.
After that, it goes flat and weak until the end of the month. The morning of Saturday the 1st of August shows a glimmer with a clean 4ft S swell, but the power just isn't there.
Now for the real standout. Circle the morning of Thursday the 6th of August. This is the one. A clean 8ft SSW groundswell with a very long 11-second period is predicted, packing some serious size and energy. And the best part? We've got a solid offshore wind from the northwest. That wind is going to groom this point break into something special. The size is getting big, so this one's for the experienced crew only. For those who can handle it, the longer period will mean longer lulls between the sets, making the paddle out a bit easier, but on a point break like this, the shape should be absolutely firing.
So, the plan is: wait out the early junk, maybe grab a few small clean ones on the 24th, and then get amped for a proper session on the morning of the 6th of August if you've got the skill and the patience.
