Mewslade Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, checking in with a look at what we’ve got coming down the line for Mewslade Bay.

Right off the bat, it’s a tough stretch. For the next two weeks, we are looking at a whole lot of flat or near-flat conditions, with nothing that’s really going to get the heart pumping. Waves are tiny, generally below 1ft, and while the wind is often light or offshore keeping the water clean, there’s just no energy to make it worth paddling out. We do see periods of glassy conditions, particularly on the afternoon of Tuesday, July 14th with a westerly breeze and a tiny 0.7ft swell, but that’s it – just a pretty lake with no push.

The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Thursday, July 23rd. The morning offers up a clean 3ft swell (combined energy of 90) with a light north wind blowing cross-off. It’s a small, clean, and surfable wave, but it’s very ordinary. Not a standout, but at least you won’t be sitting on the sand.

The only true standout, and I mean the only one to circle on your calendar, comes on Monday, July 27th. The early part of that day is the winner. The forecast shows a glassy 10ft swell from the WSW with a moderate period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 2358, so there’s real power behind it. The wind is glassy and light from the NE, which means it will be clean. But here’s the catch – at 10ft, this is for experienced surfers only. Beginners should sit this one out. This is a big, powerful, clean swell, but it’s a late call so don't lock it in just yet. The afternoon takes a turn as the wind shifts onshore, so the window is the morning session.

Overall, it’s a pretty desperate outlook until that one potential morning. For the 16-day window, the 27th of July is really the only day that demands attention.

Rusty.
