The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest from the start – this is a tough stretch for the South Coast. The forecast is showing a big fat zero for any real surf for the first several days, and it doesn’t get much better after that. We’re looking at a long dry spell, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board.
The outlook kicks off with a complete blank from Friday 31 July straight through until Wednesday 5 August. That’s nearly a week of nothing. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is about average for the time of year, so at least it’s nice for a swim.
The first glimmer of something shows up on the afternoon of Wednesday 5 August at Lourdata or Lourdas Beach. But it’s a sad little 0.7ft swell from the west, with a period of just 4 seconds – that’s windswell and barely enough to get your fins wet. The combined energy is a measly 1 (weak). The wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it’s not even clean. This is still a “poor surf conditions” call.
Thursday 6 August offers a slight bump: a 1ft swell from the WNW in the afternoon, again with a short 3-second period and combined energy of just 2. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, making it a messy, choppy affair. Not worth the paddle.
We get a couple of glassy mornings on Friday 7 August (calm) and Saturday 8 August (slight air, glassy), with the swell hanging around 0.7ft to 1ft from the west. The combined energy creeps up to just 3 on Saturday. These are the closest we get to a "standout," but honestly, it’s still tiny, weak, and inconsistent. The break itself is inconsistent and exposed to the SW, so it needs a lot more love than this.
The rest of the run through to Saturday 15 August is more of the same: tiny ankle-biters, mostly 0.3ft to 1ft, with periods that rarely crack 6 seconds. The best combined energy we see is a 10 on the afternoon of Wednesday 12 August, with a 1ft swell from the NW and a 6-second period. That’s still moderate wave energy at best. The winds are either glassy or light cross-off in the mornings, which is the only saving grace, but with no size, it’s just a flat, clean lake.
If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoon cross-shore winds on some of these days might be more interesting than the waves for paddle surfing. For the rest of us, it’s a long wait. The fact that it’s so inconsistent for this spot is a bit more normal here, but still frustrating. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a solid two weeks of near-flat conditions.
Rusty.
