The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' in the water for the next couple of weeks at our spot.
Honestly, it's a bit of a heartbreaker looking out over the next sixteen days. The forecast is a real mixed bag of onshore winds and sloppy conditions, so we're not gonna see any proper, clean, surfable waves for a good long while. In fact, the first real chance at anything worthwhile is still a week and a half away. Gotta play the waiting game.
Monday the 7th of August is where things start to get a little interesting, but it's still nothing to write home about. The early morning at Leffingwell Landing might offer a tiny glimmer of hope. We're looking at chest-high groundswell, around 2ft from the SSW. The real kicker is the period, a very long 19 seconds. This is a proper, deep-ocean groundswell, which means it has a ton of energy and will wrap in with some serious push. The combined energy of all swells directed here is reading at (525), which is a moderate kick. The wind is set to be light and cross-onshore with tiny ripples, which is about as good as it gets in this forecast window. Keep in mind, that very long period can make a beach break like this close out, but a reef setup can handle it way better. Still, this is the best on offer.
Friday the 8th of August morning looks pretty similar, with a little more size, around 3ft from the SSW with an 18-second period and those same glassy, light cross-onshore conditions. The combined energy is ticking up to (551). It's still marginal, but for the second week, these are the two sessions that have your best chance at a couple of clean ones.
For the rest of that second week, from the 9th through the 11th, the swell drops off a cliff and the wind keeps it onshore. Not worth getting your hopes up. The entire first week and a half of the forecast is a complete write-off. That Monday morning I mentioned is the only real standout, and even then, I'm calling it marginal.
The water temp at this spot is currently about 58°, which is nearly 3° colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll want a decent suit.
Rusty.
