Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
It’s gonna be a tough run for the most part. The forecast is looking pretty average for a while, with a few isolated moments that might be worth a look. The surf energy is moderate at best, and the wind is going to be a real issue for much of the time.
The first real chance of something decent doesn’t come until Monday, July 13th. The water is currently sitting at 56°F, which is a solid 4°F colder than usual, so you’ll want a thick wetsuit and booties for sure.
The standout of the whole period is Monday morning, July 13th, at Leffingwell Landing. This is the pick of the bunch. We’re looking at a 3ft swell from the SSW, running at a long 13 seconds. The energy is moderate (474). The best part? The wind is forecast to be glassy, dead calm. That’s a major positive – it’s going to be clean. This is a reef break, so that long-period groundswell will wrap in nicely. It’s very consistent and an advanced spot, so you’ll need to be on your game. Crowds are possible here, so get there early.
The rest of the week is a real struggle. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, kicking up chop and lumpy conditions. Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th are poor, with the swell getting short and messy. The energy during the middle of the week is all over the place, from moderate to strong (765 on the 16th), but the wind just ruins it.
As we get into the second week, things get a bit more promising but less certain. Around Friday, July 18th, there’s a little bump in the forecast. The swell drops to 3ft but the period jumps up to a very long 18 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The energy is strong (806). The wind is still onshore, which is a bummer, but those long lines will have some push. The period is so long that it might break a bit straight at the beach, but this is a reef, so it should handle it.
For the last few days, it’s back to the same story: small, choppy, and messy. Nothing really worth paddling out for.
In short, if you’re keen, the only real window is that glassy Monday morning on the 13th. After that, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
