Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's look at what's going on at Montauk Point – Turtles.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you. The next week and a half is a real struggle. We've got a long, painful gap of surf that's just not worth paddling out for. From now right through to the morning of Friday the 11th of July, it's mostly tiny, weak, and blown out. You'll see some bump in energy, but the wind is just all wrong – mostly cross or onshore, trashing any chance of a decent wave. The water is sittin' at 65°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so don't forget the booties if you're stubborn enough to go.

For nearly two weeks, we are waiting on a glimmer of hope, and it finally shows up on Saturday the 11th of July. That's our standout window. The morning kicks off with a clean 4ft swell from the S, and the wind switches to a light offshore out of the NW – that's the recipe for some clean lines at this exposed reef. The afternoon gets even better: the swell bumps up to 5ft from the S with a 9-second period, and the wind goes light offshore from the WNW. The combined wave energy jumps to a solid 320 (moderate energy), which is the best we'll see in this whole forecast. This is the one to circle on your calendar.

After that little burst of life, it fades again quickly. Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th see the swell drop back under 3ft with onshore winds. Then we get another weird pulse on Saturday the 18th of July. The swell is pushing 7ft from the SSE in the morning, with a cross-off wind from the W. That's a lot of water (combined energy of 490 – strong energy), but at over 7ft, it's getting into expert territory only. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit crumbly and choppy. It's a big wave but not the most user-friendly. If you're a seasoned charger, keep an eye on that date, but for everyone else, the 11th is your only real shot at a good session.

Rusty, signing off.
