Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for our stretch of coast.
Right now, we’re looking at a bit of a slow start. The opening days of the forecast are pretty grim, with poor surf and messy conditions expected from Monday the 6th right through to Thursday the 9th. You’ll be battling moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds, and the wave quality just isn’t there. Best to sit the first week out unless you’re desperate for a paddle.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Friday the 10th of July is the standout session. Leffingwell Landing (reef) is the only spot worth paddling out for. We’ve got a solid 8 ft swell pushing in from the NW, and the energy is strong at 1631. The wind goes glassy in the morning – and that’s the key. Clean, offshore glass means these waves will be holding up nicely. That said, with the size up over 8 ft and it being a reef break, this one is strictly for the experienced crew. The water temperature is sitting at 57° which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so don’t forget the booties.
After that, the surf settles back down. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th offer smaller surf, but Sunday morning is worth a mention. On the 12th, we get another glassy window with light wind and 5 ft from the NW. It won’t be as powerful, but it’ll be fun and clean for those looking to cruise.
Beyond that, from Monday the 13th onward, we’re looking at a long stretch of marginal to poor conditions. Swell drops away, winds turn cross-on or onshore, and the energy dips into the hundreds. There’s nothing worth chasing in that second week – mostly small, weak surf and choppy seas. It’s a classic summer flat spell for this area. Trust me, forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say your best bet is to make the most of Friday the 10th.
Rusty.
