The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Little Joes/Between the Jetties is a grim one. We're looking at a long stretch of poor conditions, with only a couple of brief, marginal windows that might tempt you out. The pattern is dominated by strong, persistent cross-shore and cross-onshore winds that just won't let up, ruining what little swell we get.
The first real chance to get wet is Saturday afternoon, July 25th. It's a 3ft southwest swell, with a light cross-on breeze. The water is a bit colder than normal at 55°F. The combined energy is moderate (907). Honestly, it's only just surfable, and the tide conditions will be a factor. It's a "light cross-onshore with small wind ripples" kind of day, not a standout.
Sunday morning, July 26th, is the closest thing we have to a highlight. The forecast shows a 4ft southwest swell with a 19-second period – that's proper long-period groundswell, full of energy (1071). The wind is forecast to be light and offshore from the WNW. This is the only time in the whole outlook where the wind is truly favorable, so it could be clean. But remember, that long period can make a beach/jetty setup like this break a bit fat and straight, so don't expect hollow barrels. It's a very narrow window.
After that, it's a total write-off. From Sunday afternoon, July 26th, all the way through to August 9th, the story is the same: messy, lumpy, and choppy. The wind is relentless, blowing from the NNW at 15 to 28 mph, constantly cross-on or cross-shore. The swell is a mix of weak, short-period NW and NNW windswell, with the combined energy dropping from moderate to low (between 161 and 457). The swell height gets up to 6ft on August 8th and 9th, but with that howling wind, it's just a messy, blown-out wall. This is kite-surfing wind, not paddle-surfing conditions. The entire second week offers nothing for a surfer.
So, to sum it up: if you're desperate, you've got a small window early Sunday morning, July 26th. Otherwise, the board stays in the car for the next two weeks. It's a blank run.
Rusty.
