The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a rough start. From Thursday the 23rd through Sunday the 27th, we’ve got a lot of onshore and cross-onshore wind, with swell sizes from 1 ft to 7 ft. The biggest push is on Saturday the 25th, with a 7 ft to 7 ft swell from the west. That’s expert-only size, but the wind is a solid 19 mph onshore, making it a total mess. The combined energy is moderate to strong (420 to 537), but with that wind, it’s more for the kite surfers than anyone on a paddle board. The period is short, around 7 seconds, so it’s windswell – no real shape.
Sunday the 26th drops to 5 ft to 6 ft, still cross-on or onshore, still choppy. Not worth the paddle.
Monday the 27th sees a shift to a more northwest swell, period up to 10 seconds – that’s groundswell – but the wind is still cross-on. The combined energy is moderate (377 to 391), but the conditions are still poor.
The real standout is Tuesday morning, July 28th. The wind swings offshore from the east at just 3 mph. The swell is 4 ft from the northwest, with a 10-second period. That’s good, lined-up groundswell. The combined energy is moderate (236). The forecast says “good surf conditions,” and with that offshore wind, it’ll be clean. This is the best window in the whole 16 days. The water is much warmer than normal, so you’re good with a shorty. Expect crowds, because this spot can get busy.
After that, the rest of the week and into August is a grind. From Wednesday the 29th through to Friday the 7th of August, it’s mostly tiny swells (1 ft to 4 ft), cross-on or onshore winds, and low energy readings (often under 200). There are a few glassy mornings – August 1st, 4th, 5th, and 7th – but the swell is tiny, 1 ft to 3 ft, with short periods. It’s surfable but very ordinary. The best of those is Sunday morning, August 2nd, with a 5 ft swell from the NW, offshore wind from the east at 12 mph, and moderate energy (338). That’s clean, but the swell is a bit short period (8 seconds) and it’s a week away, so don’t book your flight yet.
The second week of August is very small and inconsistent. A few glassy mornings with knee-high leftovers.
Bottom line: Tuesday morning, July 28th is your best shot. Everything else is a waiting game.
Rusty.
