Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lawrencetown Left Point over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we're in a bit of a flat spell. The first few days aren't worth getting the wetsuit on for – tiny, weak waves and nothing to write home about. It's a slow start, so don't bother paddling out until we get to the middle of next week.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday, July 15th. A solid pulse of SSW swell pushes in, with the morning showing 6ft surf (combined energy of 425) and a clean W wind. That's a good sign. The afternoon gets a bit stronger with the energy jumping to 720, but the wind is a bit stronger and more cross-off. This is a window for the confident intermediate.
Now, the standout. The real one to circle on the calendar is Tuesday, July 21st. Lawrencetown Left Point is going to fire. The afternoon session sees a 8ft SSW swell rolling in with a 10-second period, offering some serious grunt. The combined energy is a massive 1147, and the wind was swinging offshore from the N at 12 mph. This is proper, powerful groundswell and it's going to be a lot of fun for the experienced crew. Because it's a bit of a long-period swell, this reef and point setup is the perfect place for it. Beginners, stay out of the water – this one's only for the experts.
The following morning, Wednesday, July 22nd, still has some size with 6ft sets and glassy conditions. The energy is still strong at 604, and it'll be the cleanest of the clean. That morning window is a beauty for anyone who can handle it.
Water temp is sitting at 56°F, which is about 1° cooler than normal for this time of year. It's not a huge shock, but it's a touch nippy, so don't forget the booties.
Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, but for a swell like that on a Tuesday, you might just get a few less in the water.
The rest of the forecast after that window fades quickly into onshore slop, windswell, and choppy conditions. Not a lot to get excited about. So, if you're keen, you've got a clear run from the 15th through to the 22nd, but the absolute peak is that Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.
Rusty out.
