Okay, Rusty here. Lookin' down these 16 days, and it’s a bleak stretch for any surf at Middles/Generals. From Friday the 3rd of July through Saturday the 18th of July, it’s the same story on repeat: poor conditions. No standout, no hidden session worth paddling out for.
The first week has some size, but it’s all trashed by the wind. Friday morning, you’ve got 5ft from the ENE, short 8-second period, but that cross-shore wind is pumping at 19 mph, all messy and lumpy. By the 6th and 7th of July, the swell hits over 7ft from the ENE, but the period drops to just 7 seconds and your strong cross-shore wind is still steady at 25 mph. You get some heavy wave energy in there, but it’s a choppy washing machine with no order.
The second week doesn’t let up. That same ENE cross-shore wind sticks around, never letting the ocean smooth out. There’s some lully smaller swells around the 14th and 15th of July, 3ft to 4ft, but the wind is still blowing cross-on or cross-shore. A few long-period south swells show up on the 15th and 17th of July, 2ft at 18 seconds, but that kind of groundswell needs a point or a reef, not a beach break. Here it’ll just roll in straight and close out under that cross-shore chop.
Water temp is a nice 79°, right on average, but that’s the only silver lining. For a paddle surfer, this is a blank run. If you’ve got a kite, that’s a different story – the beach and the steady wind might be your best bet.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Middles/Generals can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Middles/Generals may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
