The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook is a real mixed bag. We’ve got a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions ahead, with only a couple of windows that look even half decent. The water is running about 60°F at Lawrencetown Left Point, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s one small comfort. But for the most part, you’ll be fighting wind and chop.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t come until Thursday, July 16th, in the morning. Lawrencetown Left Point (Nova Scotia) will see a clean 4ft SSW swell with a period of 8 seconds, light cross-offshore wind, and the combined energy is 193 (moderate). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The wind is clean, so it’s your best bet early on, but it’s not a standout.
The rest of that week and weekend are pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at small, weak, and messy conditions through to the end of July 19th, with nothing worth paddling for.
Then things get interesting, but tricky. On Monday, July 20th, the morning brings a pulse of 6ft SSW swell at 10 seconds, with combined energy jumping to 701 (strong). The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’s clean. This is actually the best looking session in the whole forecast. The offshore wind direction is NNW, and the swell is coming from the SSW, which is a solid match for this spot. It’s an inconsistent reef and point break, so don’t expect a wave every minute, but when they come, they’ll have some push. Crowds are possible here. This is the one to aim for.
After that, things go downhill again. The swell builds too big for the break around July 22nd, with 10ft to 12ft SSW swell – that’s expert-only territory, and with cross-onshore wind, it’ll be a mess.
There’s one more bright spot, but it’s a week later. On Friday, July 24th, the morning looks glassy. A 4ft S swell at 8 seconds with combined energy of 309 (moderate) and zero wind. Clean conditions. It’s not a big swell, but it’ll be the most user-friendly session of the second week. It’s worth an early paddle.
The rest of the period from July 25th onward is small and choppy, with nothing to get excited about.
So, to wrap it up: the standout is Monday, July 20th morning at Lawrencetown Left Point. Second best is Friday, July 24th morning for clean, small waves. Everything else is a pass.
Rusty.
