The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you: the next 16 days at Main Street Pier is a tough watch. The forecast is a long, flat spell with barely a ripple worth paddling for. We’re looking at a solid 10-day gap from now until the 31st of July before we even see a glimmer of something surfable, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about.
The first real chance for a wave comes on the morning of Wednesday the 22nd of July. We’re talking about a tiny 2ft SE swell, barely a bump. The combined energy is a weak 58, so don't expect any push. The wind is a light SE cross-off, which will keep it clean, but the "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" comment tells you all you need to know. It’s a long-period, 5-second windswell, so it’s just messy.
Then, things go completely dead again. The next sniff of life is on the afternoon of Sunday the 26th of July. A 3ft ESE swell rolls in with a combined energy of 108, which is still weak. The wind is a light WNW cross-off, so the surface will be clean, but again, it’s just knee-high slop. The comment reads "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions."
The only other session worth mentioning is the afternoon of Friday the 31st of July. A 2ft ESE swell with a period of 10 seconds and a combined energy of 114. The wind is a gentle SW offshore, so it’ll be clean. But it’s still small. The comment is the same: "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions."
Look, if you’re desperate, you might get a few soft, knee-high rollers on that Sunday the 26th morning or the afternoon of the 31st. With the wind going offshore, it’ll be glassy, but the swell is just too weak to make anything of it. The water temp is sitting at a warm 83°, which is about average for this time of year, but that’s the only nice thing I can say.
Forget the bigger boards. The swell is so small and short-period that it’s basically a lake. You’d be better off with a longboard and a whole lot of patience. Honestly, with the wind and the tiny, weak swell, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.
The bottom line: there are no standouts here. It’s a bleak outlook. Just keep your eyes on the forecast, because it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty.
