The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s take a hard look at what’s on offer here at Lori Wilson Park. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch ahead. We’re looking at sixteen days of nothing but tiny, weak surf and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds. The first real sign of anything even close to surfable doesn’t show up until the morning of Saturday, the 8th of August, and even that’s a stretch.
For the first week, from Friday the 31st of July right through to Friday the 7th of August, it’s a total write-off. We’re talking knee-high slop at best, with swell heights barely nudging above 2 ft and the combined energy struggling to hit even triple digits. The wind is a constant mess – mostly cross-off or cross-on, with a few onshore days thrown in for good measure. The water temp is a warm 84°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s comfortable. The breaks are mostly clean on the surface, but the swell is just too weak and short-period to push any shape.
Then we get to the morning of Saturday, August 8th. Glassy conditions, a calm wind from the west, and a small 2 ft swell from the east. The combined energy is a weak 63, but that glassy surface is a rare treat. The problem is, the swell period is only 8 seconds, so it’s a weak, short-period wind swell. It’s surfable, but only just, and it’s very ordinary. The rest of Saturday afternoon and into Sunday goes back to poor conditions.
Honestly, there’s no standout day here. The best on offer is that Saturday morning, the 8th, but it’s not something to get excited about. The break is very consistent, so it’s not a matter of missing the window. It’s just that the window is a tiny, 2 ft, glassy, weak one. The swell direction is from the east, which is the optimum direction for this spot, so at least the angle is right. For a beginner, the swell is small enough, but the quality is so poor it’s not going to be fun. For anyone else, it’s a day to stay home and wax your board.
The rest of the outlook from the 9th of August onwards is a miserable return to tiny, short-period, weak swell with onshore winds. The combined energy values are all in the teens and twenties. The swell height drops to 0.7 ft to 1 ft. It’s a long, blank run. There’s nothing to recommend.
Rusty.
