Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what we've got.
Honestly, I'm looking at the next two weeks for Middles/Generals and it's a bit of a downer. Every single report from now through the 19th of July is marked as "poor surf conditions" with a big fat zero rating. The main issue is the wind – it's a constant cross-shore from the ENE, blowing at 15 to 25 mph. That's going to keep the surface lumpy and messy with no clean, glassy windows at all.
The first couple days, July 4th and 5th, we've got some south swell coming in around 2 feet. It's got plenty of period, over 18 seconds, so it's real groundswell energy, with combined energy readings in the moderate range (847 to 964). But that ENE wind at 18 to 25 mph will tear it up. Water temp is about 80°F, which is normal for the time of year.
From July 6th into the second week, the swell flips to the ENE, pumping the wave height up over 6 or 7 feet on the 6th and 7th. That's big, expert-level stuff, but the period drops to just 7 or 8 seconds. The combined energy stays high (700 to 900 range), so there's plenty of power, but with that onshore breeze, it's just going to be a windy, bumpy mess. Honestly, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There's a brief tease around the 14th of July with some SSW swell at about 3 feet and a nice 14-second period, but the wind stays fresh and cross-shore, so it's the same old story.
Bottom line: no standouts here. Not one single day to recommend. It’s a full 16-day stretch of messy, blown-out conditions. For this spot, it's not unheard of when the trades lock in. Forecasts can always change, but right now, I'd be finding another hobby.

The above surf forecast table for Middles/Generals provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Middles/Generals can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Middles/Generals surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Middles/Generals) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
